Chinefe Coins.

Their fmall Money is of Copper ; 10 of thefe make their Shilling, and 10 of thofe their Crown, or Leam.

Befide thefe, they have a fmall Money of Lead, mix'd with the Scum of Copper, having Holes in the middle to fl rin g em on for the eafe of numbering : this Species is called Caxa, Cas, andPitis; and the String, which ufually holds 200, is called Santa. They are fo very brittle, that they never fall without breaking into a great number of Pie- ces ; and if left all Night in Salt Water, flick fo clofe toge- ther that they can't be feparated. There are two Kinds, great and fmall. Golchut, an Ingot, which at 3 /. 3 s. per Ounce, ufually amounts to 101 /. ; j. Sterling.

Other Golchuts only weigh half as much ; their Value in proportion.
