花钱”虽然具有钱币的形态，但不作流通使用，是钱币中的“非正用品”。中国民间花钱的种类繁多，诸如开炉、镇库、馈赠、祝福、玩赏、戏作、配饰、生肖等等都要铸钱，这种“钱”，其实是**某种需要的辟邪品、吉利品、纪念品。其中“吉语钱”是比较普遍的一类花钱。主要以“长命富贵”、“福德长寿”、“加官进禄”、 “天下太平”等吉语为内容。到了清代铸行极盛,民间行用甚广，是清代道士用来施法以降妖震鬼驱邪的载体,也可叫法器。经道士开光后,百姓请回挂于家中镇宅或随身携带保平安。在清代山鬼花钱是流传较广的时期,很多人都将其佩戴在帽子、腰带上,一来其美观的形象可以作为一种饰品,二来也可以满足驱鬼辟邪的心理。此次有幸征的一枚鎏金花钱，铜色精纯规正，包浆老道，熟旧自然，铜质精良细腻，精工美制，文字雕刻深遂有力，如刀削斧劈，其原鎏金覆盖表层，此可见其原鎏金花钱之尊重身份！实为难得珍贵之清钱代钱币珍泉。

Although "money" has the form of money, it is not used in circulation, and it is a "non positive thing" in money. There are many kinds of money spent by Chinese people, such as stove, storehouse, gift, blessing, appreciation, drama, accessories, zodiac and so on. This kind of money is actually a kind of exorcism product, auspicious product and souvenir. Among them, "auspicious money" is a relatively common kind of money. It is mainly composed of such auspicious languages as "longevity and wealth", "longevity of fortune", "promotion of officials and promotion of wealth" and "peace of the world". In the Qing Dynasty, casting was very popular and widely used among the people. It was a carrier used by Taoist priests in the Qing Dynasty to reduce demons, shock ghosts and drive away evil spirits. It could also be called a magic weapon. After being opened by the Taoist, the people please hang back in their homes or take them with them to keep safe. In the Qing Dynasty, Shangui money was widely spread. Many people wore it on hats and belts. For one thing, its beautiful image can be used as an ornament, and for another, it can satisfy the psychology of exorcising ghosts and exorcising evil spirits.
