As kids, we all enjoyed receiving birthday presents even when it wasn’t our birthday. When I was growing up, we used to look forward to my grandmother giving us presents on her birthday.

One year, she surprised us all by giving us rare gold coins when we offered her tea and birthday wishes.

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I opened up my ang pow (red envelope) and found a glittering gold coin in it.

At the time, of course, I had no idea about its value and I still don’t. Maybe one of the investment experts at Monaco Rare Coin could enlighten me. I don’t think it’ll make me rich by any means but it sure would be interesting to find out its value.
