Cellar Coins

I got some ancient coin cellars. They all come from the late Han Dynasty 1800 years ago.

Nice find, some are really well preserved, but as you know, it is not safe for you to send us such coins🤢

Original title: Changsha Customs seized 45 ancient coins
Xinhua News Agency, Changsha, November 6 (Reporter Zhang Yujie, Liu Youmin) The reporter learned from Changsha Customs on the 6th that the Changsha Huanghua Airport Customs had previously seized 45 suspected ancient coins in the passenger inspection exit channel. After identification by cultural relics institutions, they were general cultural relics prohibited from leaving the country. At present, the case has been transferred to the customs follow-up disposal department for handling.
According to reports, Changsha Huanghua Airport Customs recently found an abnormality in the machine inspection image of a checked baggage when supervising the luggage of outbound passengers. After unpacking and inspection, an ancient coin collection book was found, which contained 45 suspected ancient coins. After identification, the above-mentioned ancient coins were Qin Banliang coins, Western Han Wuzhu coins, Tang "Kaiyuan Tongbao", Song "Huangsong Tongbao", etc., which are general cultural relics prohibited from leaving the country.
Liu Lu, deputy director of the Hunan Museum Cultural Relics Collection and Identification Center, who was responsible for this identification, told reporters that after identification, the 45 ancient coins seized this time were all genuine. These coins span multiple dynasties and were combined together for possible gift or sale.
Liu Lu said that the Cultural Relics Protection Law of the People's Republic of China divides important physical objects, artworks, documents, manuscripts, books and materials, representative physical objects and other movable cultural relics from various periods in history into precious cultural relics and general cultural relics. There are certain differences between general cultural relics and precious cultural relics in terms of historical value and the number of existing ones. The ancient coins seized by the customs this time are in large quantities and have no special historical value, so they belong to general cultural relics.
"But there are strict regulations on the entry and exit of cultural relics. General cultural relics are also prohibited from being taken out of the country privately. Especially the ancient coins before the Qing Dynasty seized this time, it is illegal to take them out of the country without declaration." Liu Lu said.
Yang Xiaoyong, director of Changsha Huanghua Airport Customs, introduced that according to relevant laws and regulations, the exit of cultural relics should be reviewed by the cultural relics entry and exit review agency designated by the State Council's cultural relics administrative department. Cultural relics that are allowed to leave the country after review shall be issued a cultural relics exit permit by the State Council's cultural relics administrative department, and leave the country from the port designated by the State Council's cultural relics administrative department.
Yang Xiaoyong said that any unit or individual who transports, mails or carries cultural relics out of the country must declare to the customs, and the customs will release them with the cultural relics export permit. If the smuggling of cultural relics constitutes a crime, criminal liability will be investigated according to law; if it constitutes smuggling but not a crime, the customs will impose penalties in accordance with the relevant laws and administrative regulations.

That reminds me a joke about a swap with India. My correspondant wrote : 

Your parcel reached at my in laws place on 14th October. It was received by mother in law. Incidentally, it was opened by custom (don’t know which Indian or French), checked and re-sealed with official red coloured sticking glue. However, your safety measures (the covering letter for aluminum samples and the wonderful packing) worked very well. They just opened the packet and did not touch any of the hidden coins. Thank you very much for these precautions. actually my bro in law took 15 mins to open and find the coins   

and let this comment on my profile : 

You're the best in class" custom-proof packaging for India !

Hello, Thank you for your reply.

I'm just showcasing my recent gains and I don't want them to leave the country. I mainly exchange some commemorative coins with people from other regions.

Hello, Thank you for your reply.

Nice greeting.

   This applies to almost all countries in the world, some countries list items older than 100 years, somewhere 50, etc.

It is also prohibited in the entire EU to send money in the postal services, and for example in our country coins older than 70 years.

I know it's more complicated for you, so just a piece of advice:

If you are going to send such coins to someone - only in an ordinary envelope like a letter.  Wrap a maximum of 4 coins each in food foil, soft, and then cover with aluminum tape on hard paper.  Throw in an ordinary letter with stamps at the post office (without the correct return address) and without tracking the postal code. 

Yes, it is a risk, but paradoxically ordinary mail is many times safer.

And the others: look on google which historical items are forbidden to send in your country, and you will see that we are in the same situation.
