'''Cash coins''' are a type of historical [[China|Chinese]], [[Japan]]ese, [[Korea]]n, [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryukyuan]], and [[Vietnam]]ese coin design that was the main basic design for the [[Cash (Chinese coin)|Chinese cash]], [[Japanese mon (currency)|Japanese mon]], [[Korean mun]], [[Ryukyuan mon]], and [[Vietnamese cash|Vietnamese văn]] currencies. The cash coin became the main standard currency of China in 221 BC with the [[Ban Liang]] (半兩) and would produced until 1912 AD there with the [[Minguo Tongbao]] (民國通寶), the last series of cash coins produced in the world were the [[French Indochina|French Indochinese]] [[Bảo Đại Thông Bảo]] (保大通寶) during the 1940s.<ref name="JEAN2I">{{Cite web|url= https://issuu.com/jean388/docs/the_second_issue_of_jean/81|title=Sapeque and Sapeque-Like Coins in Cochinchina and Indochina (交趾支那和印度支那穿孔錢幣)|date=20 April 2016|accessdate=1 April 2020|work=Howard A.

Most commonly cash coins are associated with "good luck" and "wealth" today and are commonly known as "Chinese lucky coins" because of their usage in [[Chinese numismatic charm|charms]] and [[feng shui]]. Cash coins also appear in [[fortune telling]] and [[traditional Chinese medicine]]. Furthermore, cash coins are often found in the logos and emblems of financial institutions in [[East Asia]] and Vietnam because of their association with "wealth" and their historical value. == Amulets == {{Main|Chinese numismatic charm|Japanese numismatic charm|Korean numismatic charm|Vietnamese numismatic charm|Indonesian numismatic charm}} Cash coin designs are commonly used as a basic design for various amulets, talismans, and charms throughout the [[far east]], these coin-like amulets often include the general design of cash coins but with different inscriptions.<ref name="PrimaltrekChineseNumismaticCharmInscriptions">{{cite web|url= http://primaltrek.com/inscriptions.html|title= Chinese Charm Inscriptions.|date=16 November 2016|accessdate=1 April 2020|work= Gary Ashkenazy / גארי אשכנזי (Primaltrek – a journey through Chinese culture)|language=en}}</ref><ref name="CraigGreenbaumVietnameseAmulets">{{cite web|url= https://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=87111|title= Amulets of Viet Nam (Bùa Việt-Nam - 越南符銭).|date=2006|accessdate=31 March 2020|author= Craig Greenbaum|language=en}}</ref> Some amulets and charms include may also include images of cash coins as they are associated with "wealth".<ref name="PrimaltrekChineseCharmSymbolism">{{cite web|url= http://primaltrek.com/impliedmeaning.html |title= The Hidden or Implied Meaning of Chinese Charm Symbols - 諧音寓意 - Differences between Chinese Coins and Chinese Charms.|date=16 November 2016|accessdate=1 April 2020|work= Gary Ashkenazy / גארי אשכנזי (Primaltrek – a journey through Chinese culture)|language=en}}</ref><ref>China Buddhist Encyclopedia [http://www.chinabuddhismencyclopedia.com/en/index.php?title=The_Hidden_or_Implied_Meaning_of_Chinese_Charm_Symbols The Hidden or Implied Meaning of Chinese Charm Symbols] copied from Gary Ashkenazy / גארי אשכנזי (Primaltrek – a journey through Chinese culture).

Note the [[Qing dynasty coinage|Qing dynasty cash coins]] in her headdress.]] === Tlingit body armour === The [[Tlingit]]s used a body armour made from [[Cash (Chinese coin)|Chinese cash coins]], these coins were introduced by Russian traders from [[Qing dynasty|Qing China]] between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries who traded them for animal skins which were in turn traded with the Chinese for tea, silk, and porcelain by these European traders. The Tlingits believed that these cash coins would protect them from knife attacks and guns used by other indigenous American tribes and [[Russian Empire|Russians]]. Some Tlingit body armours are completely covered in [[Qing dynasty coinage|Qing dynasty era cash coins]] while others have them sewn in chevron patterns. One Russian account from a battle with the Tlingits in 1792 states "bullets were useless against the Tlingit armour", however this would've more likely be attributed to the inaccuracy of contemporary Russian smoothbore muskets than the body armour and the Chinese coins might've played a more important role in [[psychological warfare]] than have any practical application on the battlefield. Other than on their armour the Tlingits also used Chinese cash coins on masks and ceremonial robes such as the Gitxsan dancing cape as these coins were used as a symbol of wealth representing a powerful far away country. The cash coins used by the Tlingit are all from the Qing dynasty are bear inscriptions of the [[Shunzhi Emperor|Shunzhi]], [[Kangxi Emperor|Kangxi]], and [[Yongzheng Emperor]]s.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://primaltrek.com/blog/2013/02/01/body-armor-made-of-old-chinese-coins/|title= Body Armor Made of Old Chinese Coins.|date=1 February 2013|accessdate=3 June 2018|work= Gary Ashkenazy / גארי אשכנזי (Primaltrek – a journey through Chinese culture)|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url= https://chinesemoneymatters.wordpress.com/2017/09/11/chinese-coins-on-tlingit-armour/|title= 27.

Note about the article[edit]

This article can basically be used as the "miscellaneous" for anything related to cash coins outside of Chinese numismatic charms and other forms of Oriental amulets, to be "dumped" here, as the world of cash coins is quite vast and not all topics can be covered justly in existing articles.
