Pis Bolong or Kepeng
Small lead or bronze Chinese coins with a hole in the center used in offerings and as decoration in rituals. In the 19th and early 20th centuries the kepeng was the most wide-spread form of “cash” used on Bali, worth a fraction of a Dutch cent and the smallest coin in use. Also used in weight measurement.
