"Cash" or "saroks" or ale" is the
only native coin and the only legal
tender of China as well as the principal
money Of small accounts. Cash consists
of round disks of kind of brass with a
square hole in the center. The evolution
of cash is interesting. About 200 b. G.
the Chinese were still using bronze
currency representing knives 2-5
inches long, with hole in one end of
the handle. By 500 A. ID. the knives
were z 1-5 inches long and the hole or
ring was larger. Later the handle dis
appeared and the ring was attached to
the blade. which was increased in thick
ness to give the same weight as former

Of and the ring was pierced with a
square hole for the string. Thus trans
formed the original and cumbersome
knife money became comparatively
convenient currency, though the value
has deprecated greatly, partly because
of reduced size and inferior quality of
metal used.
Cash is the basis Of all price compu-
tations in China. Considerable sums
may be paid in gold or silver, but they
are treated as merchandise and are
bought and sold by weight without a
government stamp to guarantee weight
and fineness
