金錠是古代最值錢的流通貨幣，一般都是銀元寶和銅錢為主要流通貨幣。古代一兩黃金等於八兩白銀和1500個銅錢。金錠有黃金錠和赤金錠兩種，有十兩、50兩和100兩三種重量。
Gold ingots were the most valuable currency in ancient times. Silver COINS and copper COINS were the main currencies. In ancient times, one or two gold COINS were equal to eight taels of silver and 1,500 copper COINS. There are two kinds of gold ingots: gold ingots and gold ingots.
元寶，正式的名字是金銀錠，屬貴金屬稱量貨幣。它是中國古代貨幣體系中的一個重要的組成部分，是古代國家財政收入的重要媒介。為什麼把金銀稱量貨幣稱之為元寶？這要從元代說起：“元寶”兩字源於元代銀錠背面上的“元寶”銘文。《元史·楊湜傳》中談到：至元三年“以湜為諸路交鈔都提舉，上鈔法便宜事，謂：‘平準行用庫白金出入有偷濫之弊，請以五十兩鑄為錠，文以元寶’，用之便。”這就是“元寶”一詞出現在銀錠的最初記載。“元”即元代，“寶”即寶貨。元寶就是元代的寶貨。在銀錠背面鏨刻“元寶”兩個大字，有強調大元寶貨的意義。後來，元代雖然被明代取代，但元寶的稱謂被人們約定俗成地保留下來。之後凡是金錠銀錠都被俗稱為金元寶和銀元寶。
Ingot, formally known as gold and silver ingot, is a precious metal weighing money. It is an important part of the ancient Chinese monetary system and an important medium of the ancient national fiscal revenue. Why is gold and silver weighing money called ingot? This starts from the yuan dynasty: "ingot" two characters from the yuan dynasty silver ingot on the back of the "ingot" inscription. "Yuan history · Yang shi biography" said: to the yuan three years "to all the way to the banknote are raised, on the banknote method cheap matter, that is:" balance the line with white gold in and out of the bank has stolen the abuse, please with fifty-two casting ingot, the article with ingot ', with the use of. This is the first record of the term "ingot" appearing in silver ingots. "Yuan" is the yuan dynasty, "bao" is the treasure. Yuan bao is the treasure of the yuan dynasty. On the back of the silver ingot chisel engraved "ingot treasure" two characters, there is emphasis on the meaning of large treasure. Later, although the yuan dynasty was replaced by the Ming dynasty, the name of the ingot treasure was traditionally preserved. Later, gold ingots and silver ingots were commonly known as gold ingots and silver ingots.
錠”指形狀，多指條塊狀的金屬或藥物，作為融鑄成塊狀的起於西漢，多為馬蹄狀稱麟趾金，唐時出現長立方體的“銀餅”和底平上翹船的型“銀鋌”，宋代的“銀鋌”則是束腰狀的銀塊，俗稱為“豬腰銀”。元代沿襲唐代“銀鋌”模式並始稱為“元寶”，只是在這之前的元寶中間還是凹的，明朝以後流通領域整體船型、中間圓潤突起的金、銀錠才正式成形，而國庫的庫金、庫銀依然多是中凹或微突的。
"Ingot" refers to the shape, mostly refers to the strip metal or medicine, as a fused cast into a block from the western han dynasty, most of which are horseshoe-shaped called trench gold. In the tang dynasty, there are long cubes of "silver cake" and flat upwarped ship type "silver collar"; in the song dynasty, "silver collar" is a girdle of silver, commonly known as "pig waist silver. Yuan dynasty followed the tang dynasty "silver collar" pattern and began to be called "ingot", but before this ingot or concave in the middle, Ming dynasty after the circulation of the overall ship shape, the middle of the round protruding gold, silver ingots formally formed, and the Treasury of gold, silver is still mostly concave or slightly protruding.
金錠從來都是主要作為貨幣儲備或者飾品，銀錠從漢至明前期也流通極少，雖然發行“制錢”是以銀價為準，卻並非法定貨幣。明後期始以“銀元寶”、碎銀等作為流通貨幣，至清朝方作為主要貨幣流通。但流通和銀錠與“庫銀”是不一樣的，“庫銀”均為“標準件”，成色好、錠塊大、分量重，有明確的鑄造地及年限號，而社會流通領域的銀錠，則系“庫銀”按需求比率投入流通後的分解熔鑄。
Gold ingots have always been mainly used as currency reserves or ornaments, silver ingots from the han dynasty to the early period of the Ming dynasty also circulated very little, although the issue of "money" is subject to the silver price, but not legal tender. The late Ming dynasty began to use "silver treasure", broken silver and so on as currency, until the qing dynasty as the main currency. But circulation and silver ingots and "kuyin" is not the same, "kuyin" are "standard parts", good color, large ingots, weight, there is a clear number of casting and years, and the social circulation area of silver ingots, is "kuyin" according to the ratio of demand into circulation after the decomposition fusion casting.
