    The Chinese Auto Dollar is a coin I always wanted to own. NEN had a couple NGC certified coins on their site once but they didn't have the 'look' I was looking for at the time.

    I think it would be great to own one but attractive real ones rarely surface

    I settled for the fake China Car. The number of different cars in a Cars on Coins set is not worth that high a price for one coin. All the others can be gotten for less than $25 each for the most part.

    These have been faked for a long time so there are old fakes and, apparently, new fakes.
