It would have been useful to use coins as buttons.

The use of coins as buttons is almost unthinkable in most people's minds. After all, this kind of thing will not happen at this time when the material will not be lacking.

Buttons, in my initial memory, were made of plastic and the like; while in the clothing of rural seniors, it was a cloth made into a smash-like thing, and on the other side, a small hole was made with a cloth strip.疙瘩 卡 卡 卡 卡 卡 卡 卡 卡 卡 卡 卡 ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; 后来 后来 后来 后来 后来 后来 后来 后来 后来 后来 后来 后来 后来 后来 后来 后来 球形 球形 球形 球形 球形 球形 球形. In the process of collecting coins, the writer occasionally encountered some coins that were welded on rings and shaped into buttons. Nickel coins and silver coins were the main ones. The first time I saw a positive block of metal in the middle However, it wasn’t until I saw the coin with the ring that I knew it was used to make the button.

When I first saw this kind of coin, I also felt sorry for this kind of coin: Why do we have to end up with a good coin, why do we have to add a superfluous coin and weld it with a small ring? It destroys the appearance of the coin. At this time, I will use fire to remove the ring, but there will still be traces of welding on it, and it will increase the signs of fire. Since this is not a good thing, I will just keep it as it is. "The existence is reasonable." These coin-shaped coins are after all witnesses to a life. I guess this is a kind of waste utilization after the numismatics have withdrawn from circulation. The lack of supplies in the early days of liberation and the use of these useless things as buttons are also innovations. Isn't there a copper circle for badges or cigarette cases?

Once I read the “Literature and History Information” edited by this county, in an article, I mentioned that Tang Jiyao and Gu Pinzhen fought for power. Tang Jizuan’s purchase of bandits, Wu Xuexian, etc., attacked before and after, resulting in Gu Pinzhen losing steadily and eventually retired to Luliang County. In the neighboring Goosemao Village, Gu Pinzhen was shot down by bandits. These bandits waited for Tang Jiyao to be recruited. They were called "Zhunan Army." They wrote that "...Tangjun regular army officers wore gray uniforms, and Zhao Anjun wore a variety of clothing, most of which was a blue-blue earthen cloth blouse. Covered with a black cloth sleeve, the buttons were mostly nailed with silver coins (dollars), with hemp shoes or cloth shoes, some wearing felt hats, some wearing melon hats, some with bare heads, and most with back rifles. , Slingshot bags, a handful of pistols, and waist daggers... The regular Tangjun and Zhaoanjun can be seen at a glance from the outside.” As you can see from this passage, as early as in 1992, or before that, someone had already The silver was used as a button. The reason I wanted to show off was to show that I was rich. I saw that the buttons on the old people's clothes are still silver; but the main reason is that For the ocean is too small, easy to lose, made of buttons, sewn on the clothes, easy to carry, marching snoring will not make a sound. From this point of view, the causes of these buttons are many.

These dual-identity objects are both coins and buttons, and therefore have dual cultural connotations. Just as some ethnic minorities prefer to use coins as decorations, they have a higher collection value.
