In order to strengthen economic control, the Yuan Dynasty mainly used paper money, and minted fewer coins than other dynasties. 1260, Yuan Shizu issued silk paper money and central paper money with silver standard or gold standard (the central paper money has no set circulation period), and the paper money holders can exchange silver or gold according to laws and regulations. Although it was abolished for a time, it remained in use until the end of the Yuan Dynasty and became the core banknote of the Yuan Dynasty. All roads in the country have exchange institutions-"liquidation".

There are sufficient exchange funds, which are allowed to be cashed, and a handling fee of two to three points (working banknotes) is charged when exchanging. 1276, due to the large amount of paper money searched and issued by the Yuan Dynasty, all kinds of gold and silver were transported to Beijing, which led to the rise of prices and the depreciation of paper money. 1280, the devaluation of paper money became one tenth of the original.
