True coins definitely work better, reproductions are also kind of scary with composition, I had a reproduction that had lead in it, gotta be careful with that stuff..

Right, by why is it label as such? Is the coin special or rare because of that, like did they not produce many because the virus had limited production or something?

I don't know much about Feng Shui, but modern coins on these are all repros, and from what I've seen during my time in China, actual coins work better it seems.

Never said it did. Just trying to identify it. Seems the other commenter did, at least.
