admin 清代银币、纸币、硬币同时发行，嘉庆年间发行新式银币，广西年内行驶金、银币更多。
洋务运动也影响到铸币业，两广总督张之洞曾于光绪十三年（1887年）委托使英大臣在英国订购全套造币机器，并在广东钱局首铸机制银元和铜元。其后，各省纷纷仿效，购制国外机械铸造银、铜元。包括广东钱局在内，许多造币机均订购自著名的英国伦敦伯明翰造币有限公司。英国大工业的介入，使银币也沾染上西方色彩。钱币正面显然可见满汉文化的融合，而钱背却明确标示了西方文化的介入。清末铜价剧涨，民间毁钱为铜，以获数倍之利，市面出现钱荒。广东因停铸制钱，市面制钱日乏，小额流通十分不便。为救钱荒，同时受香港铜元及外币影响，光绪26年6月，两广总督德寿与前总督李鸿章奏准广东仿香港铜仙铸造机制铜元。故清代机制铜元的铸造由广东伊始。继而福建、江苏、四川等省相继仿铸铜元。
一直以来，中国人都有存储钱币的习惯，有的可能是为了投资，有的可能就是单纯的喜欢，有的则是为了盖房子。众所周知，古人建房子，都会在房梁上悬挂一串铜钱，表达对兴旺发家的一种美好祝福。如今，大家使用的都是纸币，没有以往的钱币，但并不妨碍众人收藏钱币。再者，古钱币有一个热点就是珍贵、价值高，有的单枚就能卖到几百万的价格，这对于某些人来说，无疑是一个很好的投资机会。
