Cash or li (simplified Chinese: 厘; traditional Chinese: 釐 or 厘; pinyin: lí) is a traditional Chinese unit of weight.

The terms "cash" or "le" were documented to have been used by British explorers in the 1830s when trading in Qing territories of China.[1]

Under the Hong Kong statute of the Weights and Mesaures Ordinance, 1 cash is about 0.0013 ounces (0.037 g). Currently, it is ​1⁄10 candareen or ​1⁄16000 catty, namely 3.779936375 milligrams (0.05833333269 gr).[2]
