Chinese coins are a very rare item and therefore and should be cleaned every lunar new year, eg in incense smoke.

Buddha for happiness and prosperity. Ho Tai, as it is called in Chinese, is often confused with historical Buddha. Ho Tai is not a Buddha, but a revered Chinese monk. Ho Tai was famous for his Buddhist sermons and a bag full of presents he brought to children to reward them for learning about the Dharma. Behind this strange figure of Buddhism is a real historical figure. This is a Chinese Buddhist monk Chci Chi, Japanese Keishi. This Bodhisattva is known by the nickname Putaj (Pu-taj), which he obtained from a canvas bag with which he traveled throughout the country. So in China it is known as Pu-tai or Budai, in Japan Hotei or Hotai and in Vietnam as Bo Dai.

Ho Tai is often depicted in various forms, either with his hands over his head facing the sky, or he often holds a bag or has it over his shoulder. But no matter what he is portrayed with, he always has a happy, laughing face.

The Happy Buddha is often (but not always) depicted with one or more of the following characteristics:
1. big belly
2. bald head
3rd coat revealing chest
4. A wide distinctive smile
5. big bag
6th bowl, a traditional symbol that signifies wealth in Buddhism.

Ho Tai is a symbol of joy, happiness, prosperity and wealth. Therefore, it should not be missing in any home or office.
