Interesting fact

The 50 Cash coin from the Northwest Anhwei Soviet in 1932 was made of brass, which is an alloy of copper and zinc. Brass was a common material used for coins during this time period due to its durability and resistance to corrosion. However, the use of brass for coins also had a practical reason, as it was a more affordable option than other metals like silver or gold. Despite being made of a less valuable material, the 50 Cash coin still held significant value in the Republic of China during its time in circulation.
