Cityboymb,
I'm out here in the gold country of California and there were a lot of Chinese that immigrated here in the mid 1800's for the gold and RR.
They brought the cash coins with them for worship, good luck and to use as their cash.
All others were using gold and silver and their coins were of no value.
Many kept them to trade between each other or as mementoes.
Many coins were lost throughout the US as they moved throughout the US in search of the good life.
I find them in almost every place I hunt, even Tot Lots.
I've found them from the early 1600's into the 1900's.
Always a fun find!!
To run home and research and find that you just found a coin that is upwards of 400 years old!!!
Keep hunting I'm sure you will find more...
