Vastu Tips for Chinese Coins: Best Placement, Directions & Benefits

The best way to place Chinese coins as per Vastu and Feng Shui is to keep them near the entrance, wealth corner, cash box, wallet, or work desk—always tied with a red thread and positioned with the Yang side facing up. These placements activate prosperity, remove financial blockages, and attract career growth. Coins must be kept in clean, clutter-free areas and never in bedrooms or washrooms. Proper placement ensures a continuous flow of positive chi and stability in finances.

Introduction: Why Chinese Coins Matter in Vastu & Feng Shui

Chinese coins are considered one of the strongest wealth enhancers in both Feng Shui and Vastu traditions. Made originally of brass or copper, these round coins with square centers represent heaven (circle) and earth (square). When placed correctly, they balance energy fields within your home, helping attract wealth, harmony, and opportunity.

In India, homeowners increasingly use Feng Shui tools like Chinese coins alongside Vastu principles during renovations or property purchases. As a property consultant, I often recommend them because they’re affordable, easy to place, and effective when aligned with energy grids. This guide explains the best placements, mistakes to avoid, comparison with other remedies, and practical examples—plus real property insights that matter for modern Indian homes.

What Is the Best Way to Place Chinese Coins as Per Vastu and Feng Shui?

The best way to place Chinese coins as per Vastu and Feng Shui is to position them in your home’s entry door, wealth corner (south-east), locker, business cash counter, or work desk drawer. Always tie the coins with a red ribbon to activate Yang energy. Ensure the Yang side (three Chinese characters) faces upwards. Avoid placing coins near washrooms, cluttered shelves, or under mattresses.

Expanded Insight
Chinese coins work as energy activators. While Feng Shui focuses on chi flow and compass directions, Vastu emphasizes spatial geometry and elemental balance. When both systems agree on an area—for example, the South-East being the wealth direction—the results are often stronger.

Common mistakes homeowners make:

• Using imitation plastic coins
• Placing coins without intention
• Throwing them casually into drawers
• Keeping them in dusty, unused corners

When placed with purpose, these coins help activate the property’s wealth potential—especially in new constructions, rented homes, home offices, or shops.

Where Should You Place Chinese Coins at Home for Wealth?

For wealth enhancement, place Chinese coins at your main entrance, South-East corner, cash box, locker, Puja room money bowl, or business billing counter. These areas naturally align with prosperity as per both Vastu and Feng Shui.

Detailed Explanation

1. South-East Corner (Wealth Zone)

This direction represents Agni (fire) in Vastu and the Xun (wealth) trigram in Feng Shui. Coins here strengthen prosperity energies.

Ideal placements include:

• A bowl with 6 or 9 coins tied with red thread
• Coins taped behind a painting or frame
• Coins kept inside a safe or almirah in the SE room

2. Near the Main Door

Entrance energies determine financial inflow.
Coins can be placed:

• Behind the main door
• Inside a red pouch hung on the handle
• Above the lintel (hidden)

3. Cash Box or Locker

Keep 3 coins inside any locker storing gold, jewelry, or investment documents.

4. Puja Room

Place them beside the idols of Goddess Lakshmi or Kuber.

How to Place Chinese Coins at the Main Entrance for Maximum Wealth?

To enhance wealth, place three Chinese coins tied with a red ribbon behind your main entrance door—Yang side facing outward. Ensure the door opens smoothly without obstruction. This attracts opportunities, stable finances, and positive visitors.

Expanded Explanation
The main entrance is the “mouth of energy.” Any Vastu consultant will tell you that 70–80% of your home’s positive flow depends on this zone.

Three Recommended Entrance Placements

1. Behind the main door (hidden)
   • Tape three coins in a vertical line
   • Keep the Yang side toward the outside world
2. On the door handle (inside)
   • Place 3 coins in a red or golden cloth pouch
   • Symbolizes wealth entering the home
3. Above the doorframe
   • Ideal for new home buyers
   • Clears past energy blockages

Avoid:

• Rusted nails
• Broken tape
• Placing near garbage bins
• Hanging coins outside the door (invites theft of energy)

How Many Chinese Coins Should You Use as Per Vastu and Feng Shui?

Use 3, 6, or 9 Chinese coins based on your intention. Three coins invite new opportunities, six coins enhance steady wealth, and nine coins multiply fortune. Always tie coins with a red ribbon to activate energy.

Meaning of Numbers in Coins

Can You Use Chinese Coins in the Office or Work Desk?

Yes. Keep 3 or 6 Chinese coins in your office drawer, under your keyboard, or taped to your desk’s underside. This boosts promotions, salary hikes, and business deals.

Detailed Advice
Modern corporate setups often restrict overt Feng Shui items. Hidden placement helps maintain professionalism.

Ideal office coin placements:

• The middle drawer with important documents
• Under your chair (Yang side up)
• Behind your ID card or access card
• In client-facing reception counters

Avoid placing coins near computer cables, dust, or unused piles of files.

Which Direction Is Best for Keeping Chinese Coins?

The best direction for placing Chinese coins is the South-East for wealth and the North for career. The coins must be placed with the characters facing upward.

Directions Explained

• South-East (Wealth zone) → For savings, assets, investments
• North (Career zone) → For job stability, promotions
• East (Growth zone) → For expansion, education

Avoid the South-West direction, as it represents stability and relationships—not money flow.

Where Should You Not Place Chinese Coins as Per Vastu?

Avoid placing Chinese coins in bedrooms, washrooms, storerooms, under mattresses, or on the floor. These zones weaken Yang energy and reduce wealth impact.

Why Avoid These Areas?

• Bedrooms: Too much energy disrupts rest
• Washrooms: Symbolize the drainage of wealth
• Storerooms: Blocked energy, stagnation
• Floor: Disrespectful to wealth symbols

How to Activate Chinese Coins Properly? 

Activate Chinese coins by tying them with a red ribbon, keeping the Yang side up, cleansing them with incense or frankincense, and placing them with a clear intention for wealth. Always activate before first use.

Activation Process

1. Cleanse using incense or sound (bell).
2. Tie coins in ribbon—red for energy, gold for abundance.
3. Hold coins in your palm and set an intention.
4. Place them in the chosen location within 7 minutes of activation.

Do Chinese Coins Work In Indian Homes?

Yes, Chinese coins work effectively in Indian homes when combined with Vastu. They’re affordable, require no structural changes, and can be placed discreetly.

Why They Work Well in India

• Most Indian homes have wealth corners aligned with SE direction.
• Works even in rented homes where structural Vastu changes aren’t possible.
• Cost-effective alternative to renovations.

Key Takeaways

• Place coins at the entrance, SE corner, work desk, and cash box.
• Always tie with a red thread and keep the Yang side up.
• Use sets of 3, 6, or 9 based on intention.
• Avoid bedrooms and washrooms.
• SE = Wealth, North = Career, East = Growth.

Conclusion 

Chinese coins are one of the simplest yet most powerful tools for wealth enhancement when used correctly. By aligning both Vastu and Feng Shui principles, you create a balanced and high-energy environment that supports prosperity, business growth, and financial stability. Whether you’re moving into a new home, renovating your apartment, or setting up a workspace, strategic placement of these coins can strengthen the wealth grid of your property without major expenses. Remember: direction, intention, and activation make all the difference.
