nybird Valued Member United States 459 Posts	Posted 03/06/2011 9:24 pm Yes it is also copper. Thanks for your help, I have no idea what dates these might be or value. They all look the same at first until you take a second look and realize they are all different. I guess "ten Cash" was not much value, and some say that others do not but they must have similar value since they are all the same size? Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16809 Posts	Posted 03/11/2011 7:25 pm I have an old book, "The minted ten-cash coins of China" by Woodward, compiled from articles published in a Chinese numismatic journal in the 1920s and 1930s. It lists about a thousand different varieties and types for this denomination. In the Chinese monetary system worked out in the mid-1800s, there were 1000 cash coins (the old brass coins with the square hole) to a silver dollar. "Ten cash" was therefore the equivalent to 1 cent. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.
