One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Cash - Zhenghe (Tongbao; Seal script; iron) ND (1111-1118) from Empire of China made of Iron is that it was used as a form of currency during the Northern Song Dynasty, which ruled China from 960 to 1127 AD. The coin was made of iron because other metals like copper and silver were scarce and expensive at the time. Despite being made of a less valuable material, the coin was still widely accepted as a form of payment and played an important role in the economy of the time.
