This is coin sword. It's an art unique to south China. Swords like this one are believed to hold power that can drive away evil spirits.
Coin swords are made by fashioning threaded coins around one or two iron rods. Traditionally, the coins used in a sword's construction must all be from a single emperor's reign, and the cord or wire which binds them together must be red. It takes at least 100 cash coins to create these swords, as they span about two feet in length. These swords are hung on the walls of houses as a warning to evil spirits. The older the coins, the more effective the sword!

It's #NationalCoinWeek, so stay tuned for more cool currency.
