Coins began to rise in ancient China, especially at the end of primitive society, because commodity transactions were basically very frequent at that time, and the appearance of coins can further promote the prosperity of commodity transactions.

At the same time, the evolution of coins in different countries and regions is different. The original coins are generally precious metals and shells, and the coins we usually refer to are also mainly gold and silver. After that, coins in many countries gradually evolved into paper money, and the appearance of paper money also made the global economy take off further.

coins themselves have a very long history.

China is one of the earliest countries in the world where money appeared. During the Warring States Period, all countries had money, and different periods had different regulations and treatment methods for money. For example, in the early Western Han Dynasty, it was stipulated that private minting of money was not allowed. At that time, the state traded by barter, and some monarchs with strong military or political power, heavy troops or political power were more popular.

the evolution of coins itself is very long.

from the first appearance of coins to the final evolution of coins into paper money, the evolution of coins is very long. For our country, the earliest coin in our country is shell, which was later evolved into various copper coins. During the Warring States period, because almost every vassal's currency was completely different, there were also some differences in measurement methods, and the latest emperor unified the original currency. By the time of Sui and Tang Dynasties, coins were relatively standardized at that time, and the circulation of coins itself would be supervised accordingly. By the time of Song Dynasty and celebrities, coins at this time were mainly silver and copper coins, and they also became very widely used currencies.

By the end of the Qing Dynasty, with the rapid development of social economy, copper coins gradually became an important and widely used currency, and even corresponding silver coins appeared at the end of the Qing Dynasty, but the number of silver coins was very small.
