私铸是中国历朝历代政府所面临的比较严重的货币问题之一,时至晚清,这一现象更为严重。造成此现象的原因:一是利益的刺激;二是币制本身的弊端,而官员的腐败又使得私铸问题难以治理。针对私铸的泛滥,晚清政府立法严惩,但收效甚微,最终导致了货币经济一溃千里。 Private casting is one of the more serious monetary problems confronting the Chinese dynasties and governments in the past dynasties. This phenomenon was even more serious in the late Qing period. The reasons for this phenomenon: First, the stimulation of interest; second is the drawbacks of the currency itself, and official corruption makes private governance problems difficult to control. For the proliferation of private casting, the late Qing government legislation severely punished, but with little success, eventually led to the collapse of the monetary and economic miles.
