My grandmother had a sewing basket with those type of coins as decorations is probably why so many are found in this country.

I have always related the Chinese Square Hole coin to the railroad. From what I have been told and thought Chinese emergents had a major role in building our railroad systems, and they brought plenty of those coins with them to drop for us to find.

Those types of coins were made generally from 1875-1908, probably worth around $2.
