Qin dynasty was incapable of working with currency.
 Later Chinese dynasties emulated the Qin government for its efficiency, despite its being condemned by Confucian philosophy
 Despite its short reign, however, the lessons and strategies of the Qin shaped the Han dynasty and became the starting point of the Chinese imperial system that lasted from 221 BC, with interruption, development, and adaptation, until 1912 (with a brief restoration in 1917)
