In order to ward off evil spirits and ensure a safe and auspicious trip in the mountains, ancient Taoists began to cast mountain ghost talismans into coins and carry them with them, calling them "mountain ghost coins". 

In the Qing Dynasty, people even wore coins on their hats and belts, not only because of their beautiful appearance, but also because they could protect themselves from evil spirits and keep themselves safe, thus playing the role of exorcising ghosts and warding off evil spirits.
