Dear Eng Choon,

1. Please note that what you had mentioned has to do more with `beliefs' than Feng Shui.

2. Under the Five Elements Concept - destructive cycle: it is where metal destroys wood to create wealth.

Ref: https://www.geomancy.net/fs/5element.htm

2.1 One interpretation is as follows:-

Use 3 coins to be placed under the floor mat:

This is where 3 represents = wood element
and the metal coins represent metal.

Here, symbolically metal is used to destroy wood element (represented by the 3 coins).

Result: When one steps on the 3 coins; it is like one stepping on or touching gold.

2.2 Another interpretation:

6 coins represent metal.

Since metal = gold or in the Five elements concept: instead of the `western' interpretation of METAL; METAL in mandarin refers to or is called GOLD.

Here, since 6 coins represent BIG GOLD (METAL); the belief is that if one steps on "6 GOLD" one is stepping on large amounts of gold.

2.3 Some other FS practitioners or book authors indicate another version:

Place 8 or 9 coins under the floor mat.

Here, they believe that the number 8 or 9 are lucky numbers.

2.4 If one follows the above; these are generally beliefs rather than Feng Shui.

3. There is even one School of Feng Shui which beliefs in asking their clients to bury " the Eight Treasures " for example at each corner of the house and under the centrepoint or even below the main entrance.

The idea is the same: when one steps on the floor of the main entrance... one is said to step on gold.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Since the above is relatively simple to do; and as it is based on beliefs, I do not see any harm in anyone trying it out. (I am not sure it will work for everyone though).

But as mentioned in past forum messages; the use of metal element at various places in the house is `less harmful' then the danger of activating bad earth element or bad wood element. Since metal is used as a cure.

Warmest Regards,
