Inspiring conversation

[edit]

"Alright, I've been working on Chinese currencies for years and I still don't get the Qing Dynasty and Republican currency systems. So 1 串 = 10 角 = 100 分 / 仙 = 1000 文, and also 1 兩 = 10 角 = 100 分 / 仙 = 1000 文, and 1 圓 / 元 = 10 角 = 100 分 / 仙 = 1000 文. So 串, 兩, and 圓 seem interchangeable to me, but for whatever reason it's not uncommon for the same bank to issue banknotes denominated in 串, 兩, and 圓. And how is the 吊文 different from the 串文? -- 徵國單  (討論 🀄) (方孔錢 💴) 2019年9月13日 (五) 18:39 (UTC)

In short, there is no relationship between 串, 兩, and 圓.

If a banknote denominated in 串, it denominated in cast cash coins 铜钱. The equation of "1 串 = 10 角 = 100 分 / 仙 = 1000 文" is wrong, the right relations is "1 串 ≈ 1000 文". A standard cash(小平钱) valve 1 文 (wen ,cash). for the "串", you can see the artile of "String of cash coins (currency unit)"
If a banknote denominated in 兩, it denominated in the weight of silver 银两. "1 兩 = 10 钱 = 100 分 = 1000 厘", all of the units are units of weight rather than units of currency.
If a banknote denominated in 圓, it denominated in the modern silver coins 银元. "1 圓 / 元 = 10 角 = 100 分 / 仙 = 1000 厘 / 文", the units of "仙" and "文" usually only appear in Cantonese.--苞米(☎)💴 2019年9月14日 (六) 04:40 (UTC)
Silver coin issued in 1904 the denomination is 7 mace and 2 candareens and 七钱二分, which is equal to 0.72 两/taels, is the weight of silver. We also can call it 1 圓/元/Yuan/Dollar.
the denomination is 100 (Chingping Tsuyin) Taels and (京平足銀) 100 兩, means the banknote's valve is equal to 100 taels of silver

Wow, thanks a lot for the clarification, do you have a source? (especially online) so I can use this in an article for clarification? -- 徵國單  (討論 🀄) (方孔錢 💴) 2019年9月14日 (六) 17:59 (UTC)"
