Coins and Currency Club – China

Asia, China, Coin and Currency Club

Alex and I are both sinophiles so we were very happy to see that the month’s selection for the Coin and Currency Club is China. China does have its problems with their human rights issues but they are unarguably one of the greatest countries in the world and will most likely be the most dominant country on the planet going into the 22nd century. China officially The People’s Republic of China is the second most populous country in the world with population of 1.4 billion people. It has five time zones and has land borders with fourteen different countries. Its capital is Beijing while its most populous city and financial center is Shanghai.

Alex was excited, he easily guessed the country with the clues provided
