First, if it were to be replaced by someone from the Northern Song Dynasty to design this new currency, there would be no doubt that it would be designed in the shape of a copper coin, with some era names and simple patterns on the back.

When I think of stainless steel copper coins, I can't help but think of the beauty of those gaskets that were commonly used on screws in later generations, perhaps with some words added.

Copper coins are only about 4 grams, very light and thin, and also meet the standards of this era as change, however, in a certain sense, he calls it cents at most, or cents, and the new currency, from the very beginning, is positioned as a larger face value, that is to say, about 100 Wen, which forms a complementarity.

The reason why there was a shortage of money in the Northern Song Dynasty was, on the one hand, that there was very little copper, and on the other hand, it was not that the copper coins were relatively fine.

If in later generations, there were no 100 yuan, 10 yuan and 1 yuan banknotes, and there were no such as five cents and one cent, only 1 cent, what would be the concept?

If you want to take 100,000 points with you for a meal, you will collapse if you think about it, if you stack 100 sheets, it is 1,000 stacks, and you really take the sacks into sacks to eat.

If it is exchanged for coins, it is even more terrifying, such a huge amount, it is impossible to count.

In fact, the Northern Song Dynasty also had such difficulties, and there were consistent standards, but a thousand, you always have to count them, just like the later generations, if you pay 10,000 yuan for a stack of 100 yuan tickets, it is difficult to do it, just because you seal it well, you will not count.

Unless it's a brother who has a good relationship, or it's so familiar that it can't be more familiar.

This point, in the feudal dynasty did not realize, or to say realized, but only so, silver and gold are too little, in fact, it is also a good currency, with silver every tael, gold is almost 10 yuan of the price, is a reasonable alternative currency, unfortunately, can be used gold and silver in too few places.

Stainless steel, the natural one has this intermediate currency, 20 grams, that is, half a tael less than the weight, but the moderate equivalent of 100 Wen.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, there was also such a small guan, a hundred copper coins, which were worn in a special way, and it was also convenient to use, probably called a string.

With this, it is a lot more convenient, and Zhao Xin is also ready to carefully carve it.

The best way to produce coins is stamping, which can be formed quickly, clearly and uniformly with the right grinding tools.

Unfortunately, before the appearance of the steam engine, stamping was not very suitable, although it was suitable for stamping materials, with laboratory methods, it was not impossible to do, but there was no power to push.

The stamping machine used to make coins should be at least 5 tons or more, and the power of pure human power cannot be such a terrible force.

However, Zhao Xin has a substitute, his capital circle is not a substitute for copper coins, but as a kind of currency value, from the simplest copper coins, to 100 stainless steel coins, to 1 guan of silver and 10 guan of gold.

To a certain extent, a more reasonable form of currency has been formed, stainless steel coins, just like the early Chinese one and ten yuan, and the later twenty and fifty yuan.

It should be the largest number of the entire currency value, and if you add from this point, it will have a huge role in making up for the money shortage in the Northern Song Dynasty, so that it can still be implemented by relying on the embodiment of the card system.

In this way, it should be carved more exquisitely, which is also conducive to anti-counterfeiting.

The reason why there is not much counterfeiting of copper coins is because the profit of the cost is not high, in fact, most of the precious metal currencies are not highly counterfeited, that is, the dynasty, can afford it, and many currencies will also lose money.

There are many counterfeits of iron coins, the reason is that the value of iron coins is not high, and it is easy to imitate, especially in this environment where iron materials are greatly reduced.

However, stainless steel coins, an important reason is that it is difficult to copy, although pure iron is silver, but in this era, can not be made much, the energy consumed is also huge, and the iron is soft, in the northwest ironware, has begun to popularize the premise, it is estimated that kitchen knives will be everywhere.

Those dealers ordered a lot of other daily necessities, but kitchen knives should be in the top five.

This is not the kind of iron knife before, but a special iron-clad steel knife, which may not be able to hit the level of fine iron, and it is at least more than 5.5 hardness, plus a special method, and it is extremely sharp.

The ordinary iron knife, in front of him, is not to say that it is the same as dough, but it can be easily cut.

This is a huge detection method, even if someone imitates it, the silver surface, a kitchen knife can distinguish the real from the fake, this is the best fine iron, as long as the hardness is not more than 5.2, it can't be real at all.

If you can't use iron, you can't reduce the price, silver-white metal, maybe in later generations is very much, in this era, it is really less can not be less, even if it is accidentally made of fine iron, it is also black, if it is replaced by fine iron, then they do not have much benefit, let alone finely crafted.

Zhao Xin has taken all possibilities into account, and there will be no large-scale forgery, unless the propaganda is not in place, and it is replaced by something that is not at all like, or even obviously fake.

This is the leading technology, the banknotes of later generations, the reason why there is no large-scale cost, is because of this, a little bit of banknotes, those anti-counterfeiting things are known, it can not be exactly the same, the reason why you are fooled, is that the publicity is not in place.

This future when 100 Wen currency, the overall shape, or the appearance of later coins, because that is Zhao Xin's most common one, and not copper money, you need to wear it, when ordinary people hold it, 1 piece can be used as pocket money, about 1, which is already a lot.

At the same time, you can refer to Yuan Datou, you can use a special method, one by one, 100 is 10, which is equivalent to a small yellow croaker.

This is also very convenient for some merchants.

Above the pattern, on the front, when the word hundred, when the Arabic numerals are not circulating, can only use ordinary Chinese, and below are a few blooming peonies, making the overall pattern very beautiful.

On the other hand, it is a unique creativity, it is a high-rise building, which is also a symbol of the future navy, 5 buildings, from high to low to form an overall image, which is full of modernity.

The most unique is that there are serrations in the corners, which is also common for precious metal coins, preventing someone from scraping off and causing a reduction in overall weight, which is also an aspect of increasing cost.

When the general design came out, Zhao Xin was very satisfied, this currency that carries a lot of hope, and can even become the foundation currency of the bank, with materials, with design, it's time to make it, under the premise that stamping can't be done, he needs to find a master carving master.
