People from India and Southeast Asia would go there for forest products, eventually establishing colonies, which might become kingdoms. Coinage style was generally Indian, using struck coins in gold, silver, or copper, until the Chinese period of exploration of the 15-16th centuries. Chinese traders brought their money habits with them. Copper coins are friendly to the street market, the idea caught on. By the 17th century local kings were making holes, cast coins for their people. Copper being scarcer, most of the copper cash were imported from China. Local coins tended to be made of tin.
