User:Donald Trung/Letters to Thuận Ð. Lục
.jpg)
Thuận Ð. Lục (Vietnamese: Lục Đức Thuận) is an U.S. American numismatist specialised in Vietnamese (cash) coins and charms. He wrote several articles and comments for Vladimir Belyaev’s Charm.ru website in the 1990’s, and has afterwards maintained the website Việt Touch which I have used for the article w:en:Vietnamese cash. Thuận Ð. Lục is probably one of the leading experts in Vietnamese numismatics of our time, so he could probably contribute a great number of useful images to Wikimedia Commons.

[edit]"Dear Mr. Luc,
I am a volunteer contributor to Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons interested in writing about the monetary history of Vietnam and Vietnamese numismatic charms, unfortunately many images of these two subjects are missing and writing an educational article without illustrative images just feels like only telling half a story. If you’re interested in donating your images to Wikimedia Commons please e-mail me back, information on Vietnamese charms is extremely scarce to find online (similar to information on Korean charms), if you’re interested in helping me write about these subjects I would love to get your advice.
If you want to see a list of the images of Vietnamese coins currently on Wikipedia please see:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnamese_cash
(Note: Images from Eduardo Toda y Güell's Annam and its minor currency are only used for reference as it was historically the #1 English language source concerning Vietnamese coins before Dr. barker's book in 2004.)
And currently there is only a single image of a Vietnamese amulet on Wikimedia Commons, please see:
