Why did the ancients always use copper coins to ward off evil spirits?

The custom of copper coins to ward off evil spirits originated in the Han Dynasty. In addition to exorcising evil spirits, there are copper coins such as furnace opening, town treasury, gifts, blessings, appreciation, scripts, accessories, zodiac signs, auspicious words, etc., which are collectively called spending money today.

Some of the money used to ward off evil spirits is not the emperor's title, but more of a pattern to ward off evil spirits, such as the real body of Beidou or Wuyue, and some are taboo by gods.

The material used to ward off evil spirits is not only copper, but also gold and silver. It is precisely because of the cost advantage of copper that most of the money we see today is copper coins.
