Standing foreign currency is one of the foreign currencies which were cast by England in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. After the station foreign currency entered China, it began to circulate in Guangdong and Guangxi. Because of its exquisite production and high silver content, it was deeply loved by businessmen and people. When the British government saw that the foreign currency was profitable in China, it struck and imported a lot of foreign currency. Soon, the station currency was used in most parts of China, especially in Beijing and Tianjin.
