CHINESE NEW YEAR

Happy Chinese New Year.....5000+. A former IUP student I knew years ago named Roger Cohen recently mailed me a Chinese coin from about 1100 AD. I sit here and hold it and wonder who has held this coin before me. I wonder if someone from my ex-wife's family (Hsi-cheng Shen) ever held this particular coin over the 900 years since it was minted in China somewhere. The Chinese year then would be probably 4000+ or in the high 3000's.....I wonder where the coin will end up when I pass it onward or lose it somehow.....
