<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jolumoga, post: 1843395, member: 41780&quot;]Actually, I mixed up some dates, but at least gxseries clarified the topic.&nbsp; Republic coins were, from what I gather, struck and restruck up to 1949, when China fell to communism.&nbsp; So, the communists who eventually took over had nothing to do with the inconsistent silver purity during the period of the Republic.&nbsp; Gradually, the silver purity of coins was lowered during the Republic, which indicates to me that scarcity of the metal may have been an issue, especially in certain provinces, as gxseries has pointed out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
