Under normal circumstances, when the new currency replaces the old currency, the government and the public will publicize and exchange the old and new currencies. In ancient times, most of the currency in circulation was copper. In fact, copper itself is hard currency.
Dynasty alternation and currency unification.
Reforming the monetary system is also an important national economic policy of China in the new period. However, some dynasties made a lot of money from the people of the whole country through the reform of the monetary system. We can only say that we should change Wang Mang's new dynasty, Tang Dynasty, Qing Dynasty and unify the monetary system.
1, Wang Mang's monetary system reform.
Wang Mang carried out four monetary reforms before and after the establishment of the new dynasty. The purpose of the reform is to replace the old Han Dynasty currency with a new currency.
Besides,? Sihui reform? Not as good as quality? Sihui reform? Period? Sihui reform? .
In the fourth monetary reform, there were two commodities: cloth and spring. The weight of the goods is 5 baht and the monetary weight is 25 baht. According to the normal exchange rate, the exchange rate is 1:5, but in fact the exchange rate of commodity cloth and currency is 1:25. They are all made of copper. This exchange rate is to change the copper in the hands of ordinary people and then cast new money to continue mining. To put it bluntly, Wang Mang has been appreciating the currency of the new dynasty and directly taxing the people. (In the period of Wang Mang, the weight ratio of cloth was 1:5 and the exchange ratio was 1:25).
Of course, Wang Mang's monetary system reform has long been seen through by ordinary people, and private transactions still use the old currency.
2. Currency reform in Tang Dynasty.
Before the Tang Dynasty, various currencies circulated in the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Sui Dynasty. The transaction of goods does not depend on the number of coins in your hand. Instead, the currency is directly weighed with a balance and the equivalent value is calculated according to the weight of the currency.
In the fourth year of Wude (62 1), that is, the fourth year when Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty, the king of the Tang Dynasty began casting? Kaiyuan Bao Tong? (unrelated to Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty) replaced various popular five-baht coins in society and was regarded as a unified currency. This is the fourth year of the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, and the circulation of other currencies will continue for some time. For the exchange of old and new currencies, people naturally have their own principles, that is, according to the quality and weight of the currency. This exchange is true, and both sides have no losses. The map of Bao Tong in Kaiyuan in the Tang Dynasty was the foundation of Liyuan's monetary system, which laid the foundation of 1000 years.
In the era of Tang Gaozong and Li Zhi, the national treasury was empty. Rainbow mang, he changed money according to the weight of copper, doing exactly the same.
The folk commercial economy has its own folk routines. Basically, we should avoid this kind of currency circulation with serious uneven weight. Soon, Ganfeng Quanbao was abandoned by the market, so Tang Gaozong had to learn simple routines! One tenth of the Treasure Map of Qianfengquan was abandoned by the market, and it took eight months to stop casting. )
3. Five forms of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty.
The Qing dynasty carried out five monetary reforms during the Shunzhi period, called? Shunzhi type 5? . In the end, the emperor shunzhi's currency was recognized by the market and the people, and the monetary system of the Qing Dynasty was established.
