600th Anniversary of Malaysia - China Relationship


Currency

Besides barter trading, coins and other forms of money were extensively used in 15th Century Malacca. Early Chinese merchants introduced tin animal money in the form of rooster, tortoise, fish and crocodile. During Zheng He's trade missions in Malacca, copper coins were issued and used by most merchants but were subsequently replaced with tin which were mined and minted in Malacca.
