日本是最早開始仿鑄中國方孔圓錢的國家。寬永通寶是日本歷史上鑄量最大、鑄期最長、版別最多的一種錢幣，同時也是流入我國數量最多的外國錢幣之一。它始鑄於日本第108代後水尾天皇寬永三年（1626年），從1636年開始大量鑄造。當時日本各地的錢爐均有鑄造，至明治初年還在使用，前後流通長達240餘年，後因德川幕府滅亡而廢止。寬永通寶錢在長期的中日貿易及交往中不斷流入我國，至今在我國各地均有發現。
Japan was the first country to imitate the Chinese coin. Kuanyong tong bao is a kind of coin with the largest quantity, the longest casting period and the most edition in the history of Japan. It was first cast in the third year (1626) of the 108th Japanese emperor kuanyong, and was cast in large quantities from 1636. All over Japan at that time money furnace are cast, to the early Meiji year is still in use, around circulation for more than 240 years, after the fall of the tokugawa shogunate and abolished. Kuanyong tong bao money has been continuously flowing into China in the long-term trade and exchanges between China and Japan.
中日兩國，一衣帶水，友好往來，源遠流長。早在兩千多年前的漢半兩和五銖錢在日本多處出土即是明證。到唐代，兩國交往更加密切，互派使節，而且唐朝文化對日本影響很大。歷年來出土的唐代開萬通寶錢數以萬計。而日本最早的方孔圓錢“和同開寶（王爾）”錢就是仿開萬通寶錢而成，在我國也有發現。到了宋、明兩代，兩國經濟往來更加頻繁，中國錢幣繼續大量輸往日本。後來，日本仿鑄中國宋、明的年號錢，也用漢文，名稱一樣。這些錢幣以及其他的日本年號錢也大批流入我國。當然，寬永通寶是最為常見的。
China and Japan, separated by a strip of water, enjoy friendly exchanges dating back to ancient times. As early as two thousand years ago han half two and five baht money unearthed in Japan is clear evidence. By the tang dynasty, the two countries had closer exchanges and exchanged envoys, and the tang culture had a great influence on Japan. Over the years, the unearthed tang dynasty kaiwantongbao amount to tens of thousands of dollars. And the earliest Japanese square hole round money "and with open treasure (wang er)" money is the imitation of open ten thousand treasure money, also found in our country. In the song and Ming dynasties, economic exchanges between the two countries became more frequent, and Chinese money continued to be exported to Japan in large quantities. Later, the Japanese imitation of the Chinese song, Ming dynasty money, also in Chinese, the name is the same. These COINS and other Japanese money are also flooding into our country. Of course, kwanyong tong bao is the most common.
日本的“寬永通寶”錢在中國民間流通了多年，直到清乾隆初年，才被官府知道，懷疑是私鑄錢，還另用“年號”，這無異於謀反。於是，乾隆皇帝諭令江、浙、閩各總督、巡撫窮治開爐造賣之人。幸虧江蘇巡撫莊有恭的幕僚見多識廣，道出來歷。於是，兩江總督尹繼善和江蘇巡撫莊有恭“會銜上疏”，講出來龍去脈，乾隆皇帝才又諭令嚴禁商船攜帶倭錢；民間使用的，官為收買。至此，事情才算了結,現存世極少，價格昂貴。
