<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1928393, member: 19463&quot;]Since one mon was the cash size coin, this might be called the dollar to that cent.&nbsp; I believe 4000 mon (one gold ryo or 40 of these) bought a koku of rice which was about 150kg and considered a year&#039;s supply for one person.&nbsp;&nbsp; Of course, like all questions of this sort, prices varied over time and place.&nbsp; George Washington got more for a dollar than you do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
