Editorial Rough Draft

Emperor Qin had decided to standardize his dynasty by making new coins called Bangliang. He had already standardized weights, measures, language, currency,and writing. It was very good that Emperor Qin has standardized the coins.
During the earlier years of the Qin Dyansty had many stern measures in reorganization. Among them was the monetary system. (system of money) The Knife and Spade coins were replaced by the bangliang. They had the nickname Square Hole Brother. It got that nickname because it had a square hole in the middle of the coin.
To some people Emperor Qin had standardized too many things in an only matter of years. He had standardized weights, measures, language, currency, and writing. And now he was standardizing coins.
I believe that Emperor Qin standardizing the coins was a good idea because you couldn’t lose them as easily, and it would help people more in life.
