Spade money (traditional Chinese: 布幣; simplified Chinese: 布币; pinyin: bù bì) was an early form of coin and commodity money used during the Zhou dynasty of China (1045 to 256 BC). Spade money was shaped like a spade or weeding tool, but the thin blade and small sizes of spade money indicate that it had no utilitarian function. The earlier versions of spade coins tended to have a fragile, hollow socket, reminiscent of a metal shovel. Later versions of spade money had this socket was transformed into a thin, flat piece, and over time, inscriptions were added to the spade coins to mark their denominations. Several versions of spade money circulated across the Chinese Central Plains during the Zhou dynasty period until they were abolished by the Qin dynasty in 221 BC in favour of the Ban Liang

  • 布币是中国春秋战国时期的铲形货币,主要流行于周王畿和三晋一带,燕国、楚国也有铸造。布币源于青铜农具,进而由金属商品货币演变为中国最早的铸币,在秦朝统一货币后遭废除,新莽时期又短暂铸造。 中華民國財政部、中華民國中央銀行、中国人民银行、臺灣銀行、恒生銀行等机构的徽标均采用布币的圖象。 布币来源于农具铲子,铲子在上古汉语中称为“钱”。汉语中用“钱”来称呼货币的做法由此产生,延续至今。 (zh)
