Interesting fact

The 10 Cash coin from Hunan Province made of Brass has a unique feature - it has a square hole in the center, which was designed to make it easier for people to string them together as a form of currency. This square hole feature was specifically introduced during the reign of Emperor Tianqi in the Ming dynasty, and it became a distinctive characteristic of coins from this region and time period.
