In the first year of Xianfeng, we first prepared to make money by casting Xianfeng Bao Tong. Due to the Opium War, the plunder of foreign powers and the occurrence of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom revolutionary movement, it is difficult for money bureaus to make money by casting, and many money bureaus are actually at a standstill. Even if they start casting, they will cut corners.
As a result, Xianfeng Bao Tong made less fine money, but more inferior money, mostly of poor quality and light weight, or caused iron money and lead money to replace copper money. In the first year of Xianfeng, it was stipulated that the weight of money was one yuan and two cents, and it became one yuan in the second year, but most of the specific casting lines were lighter than the specified weight.

Currency background
With the victory of Taiping Army, anti-Qing uprisings surged everywhere, the Qing army was exhausted and the Qing court was in a panic. At this time, the military expenditure in Qing dynasty increased greatly and the tax revenue decreased greatly. Coupled with the influence of the Opium War, the financial situation was tight. The Qing court was forced to drum up a lot of money in the third year of Xianfeng (AD 1853) in order to raise funds to continue to suppress the Taiping Army and alleviate the financial crisis.
"The Catalogue of Big Style" said: "In the third year of Xianfeng (AD 1853), military affairs became increasingly prosperous, and the salary could not be renewed. Shouyang negotiated with the state electricity users, and asked them to cast ten large sums of money to increase iron smelting to meet the expenses. Turn it into fifty and one hundred dollars.
Inspector Wang continued to demand 500,000 yuan. "It shows that Xianfeng made a lot of money when he was forced to do nothing." Xianfeng Chongbao "was first cast into ten big money, and then it was cast into more than fifty or one hundred, and it was quickly cast in all provinces of the country."
