唐朝初建，為統一全國，簡化軍餉籌集步驟，故唐朝建國伊始仍然沿用五銖錢。在唐朝始鑄開元通寶之前，始于漢代的五銖錢在全國已流通700余年之久。當唐朝局勢穩定后，為適應其統治需要，于武德四年（公元621年）七月，頒詔廢五銖錢，由唐高祖李淵親自主導，給事中歐陽詢監制，改鑄統一的開元通寶。
At the beginning of the tang dynasty, five baht was still used to unify the country and simplify the steps of raising military salaries. Before kaiyuan tongbao was cast in the tang dynasty, five baht COINS, which started in the han dynasty, had been circulating in China for more than 700 years. When the situation was stable in the tang dynasty, in July of the fourth year of wude (621 AD), a decree was issued to abolish five baht. Li yuan, the emperor gaozu of the tang dynasty, took the lead and gave ouyang the supervision over the production of the COINS.
隋煬帝大業十三年（公元617年），正值隋朝末年，天下大亂，民不聊生。隋唐國公，太原留守李淵趁機起兵，攻克隋都大興，自封唐王，立隋煬帝孫楊侑為帝。不久廢楊侑并自立為帝，改大興為長安，建立唐朝，隋亡。唐朝初建，為統一全國，簡化軍餉籌集步驟，故唐朝建國伊始仍然沿用五銖錢。在唐朝始鑄開元通寶之前，始于漢代的五銖錢在全國已流通700余年之久。期間歷經王朝盛衰，大小輕重已無統一標準。即使是版式最簡單的隋五銖也有大小多種規格。再加上前代的北周，北齊和南朝錢幣的流通，通貨之狀極其混亂，又由于隋末戰亂，貨幣大幅貶值，百姓生活非常困苦。所以當唐朝局勢穩定后，為適應其統治需要，于武德四年（公元621年）七月，頒詔廢五銖錢，由唐高祖李淵親自主導，給事中歐陽詢監制，改鑄統一的開元通寶。

Soon he deposed Yang you and made himself emperor, changed daxing into chang 'an, established the tang dynasty and the sui dynasty fell. At the beginning of the tang dynasty, five baht was still used to unify the country and simplify the steps of raising military salaries. Before kaiyuan tongbao was cast in the tang dynasty, five baht COINS, which started in the han dynasty, had been circulating in China for more than 700 years. During the ups and downs of the dynasty, the size of the weight has no unified standards. Even the simplest format, five baht, comes in many sizes. In addition, during the northern zhou dynasty, the northern qi dynasty and the southern dynasty, the currency circulation was extremely chaotic. Due to the war in the late sui dynasty, the currency depreciated greatly, and the common people lived a very poor life. Therefore, when the situation was stable in the tang dynasty, in July of the fourth year of wude (621 AD), a decree was issued to abolish five baht. Li yuan, the emperor gaozu of the tang dynasty, took the lead and gave ouyang the supervision over the production of the COINS.
