>World's oldest coin factory found
河南發(fā)現(xiàn)世界最古老造幣廠

Archaeologists excavating the remains of Guanzhuang - an ancient city in Central China's Henan province - have discovered what they believe is the oldest-known coin mint, where miniature, shovel-shaped bronze coins were mass produced some 2,600 years ago.
