Chinese archaeologists from Zhengzhou University have confirmed that a bronzeware casting workshop at the ruin had begun to mint standardized metal money around 640-550 BC, making it the earliest known coin making workshop in the world.

A paper on the coin workshop has been published by Antiquity, a peer-reviewed journal of world archaeology.
