Is the currency of Qing Dynasty an integral part of the world monetary system?
19451945 On February 27th, representatives of 22 countries attending the Bretton Woods Conference signed the Bretton Woods Agreement, and formally established the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. The Bretton Woods system was established.

So no, but the main factor in the early Qing Dynasty was the sharp drop in silver imports due to the implementation of the maritime ban, which also led to the rise in silver prices. The specific situation in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties caused some fluctuations in the monetary system composed of silver and copper coins. After the mid-Kangxi period, with the improvement of economy and finance, especially the lifting of the maritime ban, foreign silver once again flowed into China in large quantities, the "silver shortage" disappeared, and the monetary system composed of silver and copper coins was stabilized again. It is worth mentioning that the banknotes of the Qing Dynasty were issued in the early Qing Dynasty. However, with the overall cessation of military operations, in the eighteenth year of Shunzhi (A.D. 166 1), the paper money was stopped, and the lessons of the previous generation were learned, and the policy of not issuing paper money was adhered to for the next two hundred years. In the 19th year of Jiaqing (A.D. 18 14), Cai, a lecturer, was convicted of playing an invitation to issue banknotes. In the 17th year of Daoguang (A.D. 1837), Wang Zhusheng, a native of Wuxian County, wrote a book "Notes on Banknotes", which advocated banknotes. Although it was a sensation, it was still not implemented. It was not until the third year of Xianfeng (AD 1853) that paper money was issued because of the need to suppress the Taiping Army, but it only lasted for ten years and was abolished because of the change of the situation. The reason why paper money has been used for many years is that the monetary system composed of silver and copper coins has been established and operated normally, and paper money is no longer necessary. Of course, we should see that after the establishment of a monetary system consisting of silver and copper coins in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, paper money actually no longer played the role of a medium of exchange, but the Ming Dynasty retained precious paper money as the ancestral system, and the Qing Dynasty was not bound by this, so it was possible to abolish paper money cleanly. The monetary system of the Qing Dynasty was composed of precious metal silver and copper coins in addition to the modern European and American monetary systems.

Although it is not a part of the world currency, it has some functions.
