Lol….. I don’t think the Silvertop’s do anything the easy way either !😇🤣
Interesting that this 1919 Silver coin is 20 cents……
Is this fraction of a dollar still used today?

    It's equivalent to 1/5 of the One Yuan coin, to which was based back to the old Spanish 8 Reales. Probably a day's hard work and buy a nice time on the town.

    It's largely an Agricultural economy and field labour tends to be a minimum wage deal. But there are plenty of openings in the Armies of the War Lords paying an averge of 4 Yuan, or 20 x 20 cent coins if you live to the end of the month to collect it. One of the reasons the Republic of China troops lost against the CCP army was that the Republic solders fought without pay contributing to the plumenting morale.
