<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 2268766, member: 4373&quot;]Korean cast money was actually subjected to a lot of fraud and led to public mistrust. Despite being called copper cash coins, I suspect the cast coins are bronze / brass alloy with high amount of iron. </p><p><br /></p><p>Originally they were supposed to be cast in high quality copper but when copper prices rose, old coins were melted down and were cast in alloy which mean that the mints were making a profit out of it. This soon led to public mistrust and therefore in in the late 1800s, a currency reform was urgently required to restore trust.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
