Description: BAMBOO MONEY From the late 1800's to the turbulent early years of the Republic, there was a shortage of official government-issued currency in many parts of China. Private banks and large businesses subsequently began to issue their own "money". One form of local currency that was particular to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shandong was made from bamboo. Variously known as "bamboo tallies", "bamboo tokens" or "bamboo money", this type of money was commonly used in stores, restaurants, teahouses, and even brothels, even though it lacks the intrinsic value of gold, silver or bronze coins and was not backed by anything other people's trust in the establishment that issued it.
