The money has holes in it.The reason there is a hole in the coin is so people could put a string through it to put around their necks. Two new types of round coins were also introduced one gold and one copper.
The reason for the standardization of coins in the Qin Dynasty is because Emperor Qin noticed that different regions used different materials for money. Unfortunately, when a trader went outside their area, it was difficult to bargin with using the "coins" he had. So, therefore, Emperor Qin decided that everyone, every region, would use the same coins. This made it much better for traders and mercents to bargin with.
this is very good
