清代银币、纸钞、铜币并行，至嘉庆年间发行新式银元，而光绪年间铸行金、银币更多。洋务运动也影响到铸币业，两广总督张之洞曾于光绪十三年（1887年）委托使英大臣在英国订购全套造币机器，并在广东钱局首铸机制银元和铜元。其后，各省纷纷仿效，购制国外机械铸造银、铜元。包括广东钱局在内，许多造币机均订购自著名的英国伦敦伯明翰造币有限公司。英国大工业的介入，使银币也沾染上西方色彩。钱币正面显然可见满汉文化的融合，而钱背却明确标示了西方文化的介入。
清末铜价剧涨，民间毁钱为铜，以获数倍之利，市面出现钱荒。广东因停铸制钱，市面制钱日乏，小额流通十分不便。为救钱荒，同时受香港铜元及外币影响，光绪26年6月，两广总督德寿与前总督李鸿章奏准广东仿香港铜仙铸造机制铜元。故清代机制铜元的铸造由广东伊始。继而福建、江苏、四川等省相继仿铸铜元。
一直以来，中国人都有存储钱币的习惯，有的可能是为了投资，有的可能就是单纯的喜欢，有的则是为了盖房子。众所周知，古人建房子，都会在房梁上悬挂一串铜钱，表达对兴旺发家的一种美好祝福。如今，大家使用的都是纸币，没有以往的钱币，但并不妨碍众人收藏钱币。再者，古钱币有一个热点就是珍贵、价值高，有的单枚就能卖到几百万的价格，这对于某些人来说，无疑是一个很好的投资机会。

光绪元宝”在货币收藏界被称为银元之宝，是结合了满汉文化的产物，因为当时清朝是满洲人在统治天下，所以光绪元宝也结合了一些满人的文化因素。它是中国近千种近代银币中影响最大的银元品种，也是近代中国币制变革中的一个重要角色。由于它是实物货币，介于人们对贵金属的认可，以及对历史文化强烈的认同感，因此收藏的人不在少数。民间藏友手中只要收集一枚就具有较高的“身价”，其存世量稀少，因而在价值上也显得更为贵重

英文翻译：In the qing dynasty, silver COINS, banknotes and copper COINS were issued in parallel. In the reign of emperor jiaqing, new silver COINS were issued, while in the reign of emperor guangxu, more gold and silver COINS were minted. The westernization movement also affected the coin industry. In 1887, zhang zhidong, governor of guangdong and guangdong province, commissioned British ministers to order a complete set of mint machines in Britain and first cast silver and copper yuan in the guangdong money bureau. Later, the provinces followed suit and bought foreign machinery to cast silver and copper dollars. Many mint machines, including the guangdong money bureau, are ordered from the famous London Birmingham mint co., LTD.

Moreover, one of the hot spots of ancient COINS is that they are precious and of high value. Some COINS can sell for millions, which is undoubtedly a good investment opportunity for some people.
