Interesting fact
The 10 Cash - Xuantong (Brass) 3 coin from the Empire of China, made of brass, features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally added to the design to make it easier for people to thread the coins onto a string or a cord, allowing them to be worn as a necklace or a bracelet. This feature was particularly useful during times of economic hardship, when people had to rely on alternative forms of currency.
