"福" pronounced as "FU" in Chinese that means "Prosperity".

Property, wealth, good fortune, etc.

Go into any Chinese restaurant and you'll see this symbol somewhere. I'm not kidding.

I personally am not a fan. I like to be able to read the writing on the dail.

nope, there aren't any 366 beyond 1000 pieces. the next 500 pieces were the 367 making a total of 1500 pieces of "special" edition for China.

You pictured it well. However you pictured it wrong. Understanding chinese characters - they are actually picturesque. Fu - means wealth, luck, and fortune.

The character there depicts a man/person with 3 stacked crates, probably crates of fortune, gifts, and such. :)

A man/woman with abundance.
