Back in the city of Guangzhou, since June, there have been many changes in the city of Guangzhou, which are mainly brought about by equal coins, glass mirrors, etc.

Speaking of equality coins, in the eyes of the residents of Guangzhou City, the biggest feature of equality coins is convenience.

When the Equality Coin first appeared, many merchants would also weigh the weight of the Equality Coins, worried that the weight of the Equality Coin was not right, and after earning the Equality Coins, they would soon spend the Equality Coins, and they did not trust the Equality Coins.

After a few days of circulation, the merchants found that the weight of the rated value of the equality coin was the same, and the error was very small, so the merchants gave up weighing the equality coin.

After a month of circulation, merchants found that the equality coin was too convenient, and when the silver was used before, it had to be weighed back and forth, and the silver had to be verified to be authentic, and the equality coin did not care about those, as long as the face value of the equality coin and whether it was damaged, it could be used, which greatly saved transaction time.

It is convenient for the merchants, and the customers are also convenient, and everyone feels that this equal currency is convenient, and more and more people go to the people's money bank to exchange silver for equal currency.

However, most people do not exchange all the money in their homes for equality coins, and only exchange a part of equality coins for daily use, although they now use equality coins because of convenience, and have some trust in equality coins in their hearts, but after all, the time for equality coins to appear is too short, and it will take longer for people to trust equality coins more.

Before and after the KPA issues the Equality Coins, the numismatic regulations that have been formulated are disseminated so that everyone knows and understands the rules for the use of the Equality Coins as much as possible:

Everyone can exchange gold, silver, and copper coins for equal coins, and no one is allowed to refuse to accept them when using equal coins;

Minor damage on the Equality Coin does not affect the value of the Equality Coin and can be used normally, if there is a large damage on the Equality Coin, it can be refused;

Anyone who maliciously damages Equality Coin will be severely punished, and those who report malicious damage to Equality Coin will be rewarded......

Under the strict regulations, there is really no one who dares to blatantly obstruct the circulation of the Equality Coin, and on the surface, no one dares to damage the Equality Coin, but secretly there may be people who are picking wool.

For example, it is used to gently scrape the side of the equal coin, scrape off the silver powder, only scratch once on the equal coin, the damage to the equal currency is not big, you can continue to use, scrape a few more equal coins, the silver powder accumulates more, you can melt into silver ingots, to the people's money to exchange for equal coins.

This kind of behavior is a crime, and once caught, it will definitely be severely punished, but it is very difficult to find this kind of thing, even if it is between friends, it is impossible to do it together, generally do it yourself, or a husband and wife, father and son, and brother combination.

Once the damage of the equal coin is too big to be used outside, you can only go to the people's bank to exchange it for the complete equal coin, and the people's bank will exchange it for the equal coin with a face value of less than ninety percent according to the size of the damage of the equal coin.

More than four months have passed, and when the residents of Guangzhou City need to use more than 100 copper coins worth of money, they will basically use the equality coin, which is convenient for themselves and others.

Fortunately, the mint has been minting equal coins, and the People's Army has more silver, as well as the silver obtained from the exchange of equal coins, so there is no need to worry about not having equal coins for the people to exchange.

Expanding the scope to the entire People's Army-ruled area, basically the use of equality coins is more common in city-level cities, and when it comes to county seats, the frequency of use of equality coins decreases somewhat, and outside the city, the frequency of use of equality coins will continue to decline.

With the passage of time, it became inevitable that Equal Coin would replace silver.

At present, there are only three types of silver coins issued by the People's Bank, namely one yuan, five cents, and one dime, and the mint is also constantly minting four copper coins: five cents, one cent, five cents, and one cent.

Fang Nan has already made a decision to launch the 5 cents and 1 cents copper coins on the first day of December, and wait until June next year to launch the 5 cents and 1 cents copper coins.

The smaller the face value, the more often the coin is used, whether it is the People's Army or the Ming Dynasty, the most commonly used by the common people is copper coins.

People have developed some trust in the equality coin, in this case, if the people's money bank wants to issue five cents and one cent copper coins, it must have enough reserves, otherwise it will soon be exchanged by the people, and as for the five cents and one cents copper coins want to be issued, they must prepare more.

The issuance of equal coins is a good thing for the People's Army, the circulation of equal coins is conducive to commercial trade, and the People's Army controls the economy by controlling the equal coins, but at present, the greater benefit is the benefits obtained by the People's Army when minting equal coins, which is nearly one-tenth more money.

Equal coins affect everyone under the rule of the People's Army, while glass mirrors and transparent glass only affect the middle and upper class families, after owning their own land for two consecutive years, the common people are considered "rich", wear new clothes, buy some meat, repair houses, but most people do not have the luxury to buy a mirror, even if a palm-sized glass mirror only costs a dime of equal coins.

Ordinary people need to grit their teeth to be able to buy a palm-sized glass mirror, and many of them still have to be used as their daughter's dowry.

It is easier for medium-sized people to buy a palm-sized glass mirror, and only when buying a glass mirror with a larger size will they be very hesitant, a few yuan to dozens of yuan of equal coins, no matter how you look at it, it is not a small amount of money.

And for the large families with a net worth of more than 10,000 equal coins, it doesn't matter if they buy the largest glass mirror at once, they also buy some transparent glass to install on their doors and windows, with glass windows, even if you don't look at the window, the house is very bright, and when it comes to winter, it is the time when transparent glass really shines.

Glass mirrors have become a topic of conversation for some people, and they do not talk about the glass mirrors they buy, but about the sales of glass mirrors in the Ming Dynasty.

"A palm-sized glass mirror can be sold over there, and it can be sold for six or seven taels of silver, and the price has increased dozens of times, and those merchants have made a lot of money."

"Why can't we sell the glass mirror over there, what a good opportunity to make money."

"Don't think about it, just our identity, we are not qualified to be involved in the glass mirror business at all, those businessmen who take the glass mirror over there are not simple, they have a lot of money, and they also have a background over there, that is, they can open up the trade route to sell the glass mirror."

"I heard that someone bought a glass mirror and was going to take the trail to that side, and if he succeeded, he could earn at least hundreds of taels of silver, but if he failed, he would lose his life."
