Emperor Qin Unveils
New Coin
China Tribune
Written By: Far Dan
Xianyang—Emperor Qin Shi Huang Di has decided to change China’s money system. Qin thought it would be a great idea if everyone in China used the same money. The old money China used to use was shells, just plain old seashells. The coin was brownish-gold and made of bronze. It had a square hole in the middle and there was something engraved in the side.
Everyone in the palace thought the new coin idea was great. The Prime minister agreed with everyone in the palace. Prime minister Li Si told us, “The state of Qin is very powerful and our ruler [Qin] is full of great ideas and this is one of them.”
Al though the people of the palace thought the new coin was a good idea, not everyone did. Some citizens of China very much disagreed with the people of the palace. A Chinese farmer told us, “I am very angry right now because I have all of this old, useless money and I have nothing to do with it. It would be very helpful if the Emperor could tell us how to exchange the money. I just hope there is an exchange.”
All throughout China people are thinking differently of this new coin. This type of thing will always happen with any new idea. The people of China would like to know about a new idea. They would love to know if a new idea is coming.
