Later in the 1800s, the Tokugawa Shogunate government legally mandated the value of their coinage in a way that gold was worth 10X that of silver, when on the world market it was 15 times as much. This went about as well as you'd expect. You know how a lot of RPGs have gold, silver, and copper coins and they are each 10 times more valuable than the lower coin? A lot of people who came up with the idea in their worldbuing probably thought "I heard it from somewhere, but I don't remember it" or "I remember it from work X" and if you trace it back far enough, it probably originated from someone who read about the time Tokugawa Japan tried to legally declare gold to be worth 10X the same weight as silver. To be fair, the Tokugawa system worked a lot better than the Nara coinage, it wasn't the whole system being flawed from the start but just a system that was working until one policy that resulted in a lot of wealth being sucked out of the country and some economic chaos.
This is why even today, antique Chinese and Japanese coins are basically worthless. You can have them in private collections as a curiosity, but there are just so darn many of them out there that historians have no use for the surplus.
Using cloth and rice as payment is an interesting idea. You could actually buy something and have it cost you the shirt off your back. I wonder if there was a country that took your limbs as payment and charge an arm and a leg. Maybe Canada.
The sovereignty thing is kind of hilarious if you consider US history. When the revolution happened, the coin of the realm was, well, anything, but mostly Mexican pesos. The continental army did issue paper script, but that was worth the money it was printed on. The US didn't even attempt to mint coins until 1793 and only haltingly. Really for decades everyone was quite happy to use silver Mexican pesos. By the late 19th century bills and coins as we know them were being minted and circulated, and under FDR the government demanded that citizens turn over gold coins, which was the first step towards transitioning to fiat currency.
When this humble hanashika Graced a ride along The kamakura samurai Along came this song When lord Minamoto Faced a steppe land devil His cavalry of mongols Their hooves did revel When the khan's ships sailed To have Tsushima pinned So cried kami Fujin: "Have fun with this wind!" Toss a coin to your neighbour Oh, dynasty of plenty Oh, dynasty of plenty, oh Toss a coin to your neighbour Kamikaze blew your pest So give Japan a rest She's a friend of the Han So cough up some yuan That's my epic tale The samurai prevail Now re-open the coin trail
China was able to mint the coins in a manner that sounds like mass production. The government taxed and bought in coin. But they’d make so many coins the goods suffered inflation. It was profitable to take goods bought in Japanese markets to China. Thus, a steady supply of coins, which became a trade good in Japan.
@Joe Becker I don't know. All I know is that it has been speculated that Rome had traded them with the Middle East for Silk and thus, the coins found their way to China, and the rest is pretty obvious...
@@edi9892 yeah, it's true, you can search it. The story goes that Jesus went to Japan and Jesus's Japanese brother took his place on the cross, as I recall it. Of course, nobody has dug up the tomb to see if Jesus's body is actually there but when I heard the news of the Roman coins being found in Japan I found it a funny coincidence.
Japan was flooded with coins like Scrooge McDuck’s vault of coins practically an ocean you can dive deep into the sea of coins and you might find a golden fish
I dunno about u but back in the ancient times most people were poor,and things like rice,sugar or flour were valuable staple goods and could be almost universally seen as currency. After all the government collected taxes if not what else but in sacks of rice.
I see, so the issue was problem with the value of currency exchange only in Japan issue, the perceive value of precious metal versus product which is copper coins. I guess it's similar issue how China of today with Taiwan microchips and EU with Russian oil/gas.
Money can definitely buy happiness and it always has. And it probably makes a difference in the Afterlife too. Imagine how happy it would make a person to be so rich and able to live comfortably in this hard medieval life, that he has an Entire Huge Pot full of Money. Many Pots. So many that he buries them. Imagine how happy it would make anyone to know that hundreds upon hundreds of years later, your money is still buried in that pot, deep beneath the Earth's dirt, and the metal has turned a Magical Blue color, and people of the future who know nothing of what it was like to live in your Era get to hold and touch that ancient blue money. I think that's a very charming thought, and would make the dead owner very happy. What is a Man without his tools? Money probably exists in the afterlife just like tools and weapon and food and meat and hunting do. And rent lol

Why does Japanese history read like Japan has never actually had many competent leaders? I mean you got Oda and his 2 successors who succeeded in uniting Japan. But all they achieved was consolidate their power by weakening their nation to the more modern black ships because a certain Korean Admiral kicked their ass. And then they were made to rapidly modernise during the Meiji but didn't mature enough as a nation to handle all these new ideas and tech to be diplomatic (the isolation didn't help).
The isolation policy was taken by Tokugawa due to destructive nature of Imjin War initiated by Hideyoshi. You can say whatever you want about the isolation policy but it led to peace and prosperity enjoyed by Japanese for more than 200 years.
My question is why China would bother investing in Japan back in the medieval period? Don't recall Japan exporting anything the Chinese would want back then.

Then in 1600s, these Chinese coins flew back to Southeast Asia where copper is in demand to make cannons and guns, especially Nguyen Vietnam.

The best part of the chinese coins is that they were flowing in by demand and not made and hoarded by nobles, who just made them like bitcoin.
