Zhao Guang didn't know that aluminum currency was operating smoothly in his territory, but outside, it was a different story.
There were not many aluminum products in this world, but they did exist. In fact, although the surface value of aluminum products was about the same as gold, privately they were considered even more valuable.
The reason was simple, because there were so few aluminum products.
Moreover, anything that could be made of aluminum could also be made of gold and silver.
Aluminum products weren't irreplaceable, but their scarcity naturally drove prices somewhat higher.
In the eyes of many nobles, aluminum was not viewed as a functional metal but as a collectible. This feeling was similar to how titanium alloy products were considered on Earth—non-essential and very scarce.
Therefore, once the aluminum currency was circulated, its price was slightly higher than the normal gold coins.
