When did China start to issue money?
The first national Chinese currency was issued by Qin Shi Huang, as part of his Unification of China. It was in the form of a round coin with a hole punched in the middle; since inflation made each coin rather worthless on its own, the hole was useful for stringing many coins together.
The currency China uses today, the Yuan (called the renminbi, or "people's currency," within China), was first issued in 1948, and is printed in a more traditional banknote design. 1, 2, and 5 Yuan coins have also been issued at various times, but they have never caught on as popularly as the paper money has.

What is an Indian half pice coin 1888 what was it used for this is a coin from India not USA?
The Half pice coin was a coin intended for circulation (it is not a token). It was of very low value (1/128 of a Rupee).
Half Pice is just the value of the coin (at that time, Indian money was not divided into decimals like today. One pice was worth a quarter Anna, and an Anna was 1/16 of a Rupee).
As you can see, it shows Queen/Empress Victoria on the "heads" side. This is because at that time, India was a British Colony.
The "half pice" was used for many years and was withdrawn from circulation in the 1940's-1950's.

10 Mils (Wen, Ch'ien) = 1 Cent (Hsien)
