What does SYCEE mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A lump or ingot of fine silver, formerly used as currency in China.
Merchants and bankers in imperial China cast silver into sycee shapes rather than minting coins, weighing each piece to determine its value. A banker or assayer usually stamped each sycee with a mark certifying its purity and origin, similar to a modern hallmark. Foreign traders visiting Chinese ports during the nineteenth century had to learn how to weigh and judge sycee before conducting business. Coined currency eventually replaced sycee across China, and today the ingots survive mainly as museum pieces and historical curiosities.
