Let's talk about various anti-counterfeiting methods in detail. Metal is needed to make coins, and the court will strictly control this kind of metal. Then, considering the needs of all aspects, this metal is restricted or monopolized. The ancient production technology was relatively backward, but it always attached great importance to the anti-counterfeiting of coins. Moreover, due to different casting processes, the coins cast are different. Therefore, the ancients have been constantly exploring and improving the technology of coinage. So as to increase the difficulty of imitation and achieve the purpose of anti-counterfeiting.
Compared with cast coins, the anti-counterfeiting method of paper money is more complicated. After all, the level of ancient science and technology was low, and the anti-counterfeiting technology was not as advanced as it is now. However, the anti-counterfeiting means of ancient paper money should not be underestimated. The paper used in ancient paper money was all specific paper designated by the imperial court, such as Sichuan paper and Chu paper. Except the imperial court, only people approved by the imperial court can get this kind of paper. In addition to court paper, there are also methods of stamping and anti-counterfeiting. Simply put, it is the unified seal before the court distributed it to all localities. After it is distributed to all localities, all localities will affix their own seals. In this way, the stamps are stamped layer by layer, thus achieving the purpose of anti-counterfeiting. There must be patterns on paper money, and these patterns are also a kind of anti-counterfeiting method. The patterns on paper money in past dynasties are different, but the same is that the patterns are numerous and complicated, which is difficult to imitate.
Of course, the most important thing is that the penalty for copying money is very heavy. The penalties for coins in past dynasties were different, but the same thing was that the penalties for counterfeit money in past dynasties were very heavy, even the death penalty was serious. In addition to this punishment for forgery, there is also a reward for exposing forgers. In a word, the anti-counterfeiting means of ancient coins are various, and the anti-counterfeiting technology is superb.
