Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 40 Cash - Wang Mang (Second reform) (9-14) from China (ancient) made of Bronze weighing 3.13 g is that it was used as a form of currency during the Wang Mang period, which was a time of great economic and social change in ancient China. The coin was introduced as part of a series of reforms aimed at stabilizing the economy and reducing the power of the nobility. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the coin played an important role in facilitating trade and commerce during this time.
