Extended data:
The copper coins cast in the early Han dynasty were relatively light, weighing three taels, and later they became lighter and lighter. During the Wendi period, the disadvantages of three baht became more and more obvious, so Wendi ordered the use of four coins, weighing a quarter of a second, but the currency value was half a second. The currency crisis in the Han Dynasty actually originated from the government's policy of letting people make money privately, which was originally intended to speed up the currency circulation and increase fiscal revenue.
However, the disadvantages of this policy far outweigh the advantages. Money was originally made of copper, but the mints were doped with low-value metals such as lead and iron, and the currency gradually depreciated and the private economy gradually became chaotic. Many people take this opportunity to make a fortune by minting money. For example, Deng Tong, Emperor Wen's favorite, surpassed the prince by casting copper coins.
In addition, all the princes dug mines and cast copper money, and Liu Bi, the prince of Wu, was richer than the emperor, so he had the confidence to launch the "Seven Kings Rebellion". Emperor Wu spent a lot of money on Huns year after year, and the wealth accumulated by Wenjing rule was gradually exhausted, so the financial crisis has reached a problem that must be solved.
From the first year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Emperor Wu started monetary work, during which he changed four dollars into three baht, and later changed it back. Going back and forth is equivalent to not changing, and the problem will naturally not be solved. In the fourth year of yuanshou, there was a large-scale monetary reform. White deer original coins and white gold coins were issued in the Han Dynasty. It is forbidden for people to make coins privately, and offenders will die.
In the fifth year of Yuanshou, Emperor Wu ordered the casting of five baht coins, and the coin-making technology was also improved, effectively preventing the occurrence of privately minted coins. After some exploration, Emperor Wudi decided to solve the problem once and for all, and ordered the vassal states to ban the private minting of coins, and the right to mint coins belonged to the central government. This policy has been in use ever since.
