  1. Speaking of shell coins, everyone may be unfamiliar, because we are far away from the dynasty of the use of shell coins. In fact, shell coins are the earliest circulation currency in China. It is a shell in the water, which is the shell we can pick up by the sea. But for that era, shellfish are very rare varieties. Why is it selected as a medium of transactions?
    Since shellfish are shells that grow in the shallow sea, it is small and exquisite, bright, and durable, so it has always been a kind of decoration that primitive residents love. And because it has the characteristics of moderate size and inadequate shapes, easy to carry, easy to carry, easy counting, etc., with the development of socio -economic development and the formation of commodity society, shellfish gradually acts as general equivalent of commodity exchange.
    The earliest clearly recorded in Chinese history is: Xia Dai. However, the shell coins were not widely used at this time. It was not until the end of the Xia Dynasty that the shell coins were widely used. It continued until the Shang Dynasty could be used as a medium of exchange. currency.
    Belcoin, as the oldest circulation currency in China, has many unique value, and has a profound impact on Chinese civilization, but it will inevitably be eliminated by history. Because it is difficult to pick up the seaside to pick up, after all, thinking about it may need to go through the mountains, or go through the vast primitive jungle to find it in unknown places. It is difficult to do with personal ability. Therefore, we cannot be self -proclaimed, and we should actively respond to allow our own country to achieve long -term prosperity and development, so it is destined to be eliminated by history.

  2. Shell coins were the most primitive currency in ancient my country. It is used for circulation and exchange, and is the most widely used in the former Qin Dynasty.
    Belcoin is a natural equivalent exchange object, which is similar to the current coin. At that time, the shells were mainly growing in tropical and subtropical regions. It was a decoration that people liked, but it was because it was convenient for carrying and easy technical exchange, and it was difficult to falsify, so it slowly became a currency.

    The disputes in various countries before the Qin Dynasty unified, and each country has its own currency, so these are messy in circulation on the market. After the unification of the Qin Dynasty, the culture of various countries began to unify. Currency is also for the symbol of the stability of the country, so Qin State began to make unified production. However, there were many people making fake coins at that time. Even in this phenomenon, it was repeatedly banned. Therefore, in order to prevent this phenomenon, the Qin Dynasty wanted to find a currency that was difficult to fake to replace, and the shell coin was born.

    Bar currency can achieve such a stable development because it will not be faked. We can pretend to think that if we want to create fake coins, there are only two ways. The first is to find materials similar to shells for replacement, or other shells with similar shapes for replacement, but this era in the past is not in the past. Possible, even if it is modern, less than 100%of the technical unity is done. The second is to go to the Indian Ocean Coast to pick up shells, but for the people at the time, going to the Indian Ocean Coast was a time -consuming and labor -intensive project. Originally, fake coins were to make money and fake. A large amount of manpower and material resources are obviously unable to draw.

    why is it difficult to fake the shell coin? Because you want to get sea currency, you can get this kind of shell to get over the Himalayas or pass through the original jungle to reach the Indian coast. This was also very difficult to complete at the time. There were no convenient transportation, no safety protection measures, and went out to find 100 people to find. Maybe one person could not return. So it is difficult to make counterfeit currency.

  3. According to historical records, the Bei Coins were in the late Xia Dynasty in the late Xia Dynasty, that is, the most widely used in the summer of the Xia Dynasty, until the Shang Dynasty became universal currency.

  4. Best coin is the most primitive currency, which is in the former Qin Dynasty. It is said that in the late Xia Dynasty, shellfish can be used as a medium of exchange. Until the Shang Dynasty shellfish developed into a circulating currency, and it was a natural equivalent exchange.
