In the Qin dynasty Emperor Qin Shi Huang standardized many things including currency, and writing. The currency was bronze or gold coins with a hole in the middle so you could put them on a cord around your neck. there were many shapes of coins too. Some examples are shaped like knives attached to a circle with a hole in the middle others are just a plain circle with a square-like hole in the middle. Emporer Qin Shihuang also standardized the writing by using all the widely used writing symbols. This has been used for thousands of years since then and is still used today in letters and other small things.
