CoinWeek

In this episode of the CoinWeek Podcast, we depart from our normal fare and talk to David Schirduan, a game designer, whose new game "Clink" uses coins to determine play outcomes and as "in-game" money. We discuss the tactile quality of coins, which coins players should use in the game's "Old West" setting, and the pseudo-philosophy of flippism. Charles also reveals that if he was a game designer, he'd openly embrace paid DLC. It's called capitalism, folks! * * * This CoinWeek podcast is brought to you by PCGS.

Charles Morgan sat down with Champion Auctions president Michael Chou in Berlin to discuss the current state of the Asian coin market. The structure of the coin market in Asia (especially China) differs greatly from that of the American numismatic marketplace and to learn more about it, Charles subjects Michael to more than forty minutes of rapid fire questions covering a broad range of topics, from the difference between modern coin and classic coin investment in China, to the complexity of the Panda bullion coin series, to how banks work as coin dealers, selling "investment-grade" coins to their wealthy clients, and whether China will ever allow its rare numismatic coins to again leave the country. No matter your depth of knowledge in the Asian numismatic scene, you will definitely learn something new in this episode of the CoinWeek Podcast. * * * This CoinWeek podcast is brought to you by PCGS.
