Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Cash - Yuanfu (Tongbao; Seal script; Shang; iron) ND (1098-1100) from Empire of China made of Iron is that it was one of the first coins to use a standardized weight and size, which helped to facilitate trade and commerce across the empire. Prior to the introduction of this coin, various regions in China used their own local currencies, which often had different weights and sizes, making it difficult to conduct transactions across different regions. The introduction of the Yuanfu coin helped to establish a uniform standard for currency across the empire, which in turn helped to promote economic growth and stability.
