With the popularity of mobile payment, more and more people began to use mobile phone payment, and paper money payment is less and less, and in the ancient mainland ancient use of barter, and later there was the production of money, from shells to knife coins copper coins, gold and silver coins, and then to paper money.
The earliest paper money on the mainland should be unearthed in the Song Dynasty period of "Jiaozi", the emergence of Jiaozi can be said to be a great convenience to people's lives, gold and silver carrying inconvenience, mining difficulties, but also easy to wear, and paper money is light, easy to carry, the transaction is also very convenient, it can be said that it quickly replaced gold and silver, and then there was the emergence of silver bills, and in modern paper money have the phenomenon of counterfeiting, how is the phenomenon of counterfeiting in ancient paper money?
In fact, in ancient times, the phenomenon of counterfeiting was also a lot, but it was all counterfeiting on private silver, because the official silver was issued by the government to calculate income, disaster relief, and counterfeiting was not worth it, and it was not an easy task to counterfeit private silver.
The anti-counterfeiting technology of ancient silver tickets, the first is the material and printing technology are not used, and counterfeiting is more troublesome. The second is the pattern printed on the silver ticket, the printing method is complex, the pigment is difficult to find, and the coloring process is also very complicated.
The third is the material of the silver ticket, and the pattern printed on the top will change somewhat every once in a while, and it is more difficult to forge. The fourth is the means of the imperial court, the punishment for forging paper money is also very severe, generally no one will break the law, and in ancient times, large silver bills because of the number of occurrences are relatively small, the number of people who can use them is relatively small, so there are fewer people who use large paper money, and small paper money forged out not only has great risks, but also is easy to find, and in ancient times, the rules for exchanging money in different money banks are not the same, the codes of different money houses, the details of the writing method are not the same, and there are very few people who are willing to take risks.
