Is the money of the five emperors Taoist or Buddhist?

Folk customs, which can be attributed to Taoism or ancient folk, have always used ancient copper coins to exorcise evil spirits and attract wealth. Usually five copper coins are strung together, representing the strength of the five parties and five elements. The Five Emperors, in its original meaning, refer to the five emperors of East, South, West, North and China. They are five gods, endowed with five elements and five colors. Jin Mu is full of fire, water, earth, white, blue and red. The custom of using five ancient copper coins inside the outer circle to represent the five elements and five emperors to ward off evil spirits and attract wealth has a long history.
