布幣是中國古代貨幣，因形狀似鏟，又稱鏟布。中國春秋戰國時期流通于中原諸國的鏟狀銅幣。鏟狀工具曾是民間交易的媒介，故最早出現的鑄幣鑄成鏟狀。
布本為麻布之意，麻布也是交易媒介之一。當銅幣出現后，人們因受長期習慣的影響，仍稱銅錢為布。但前人也有的認為布即錢镈之镈的同音字。布幣分空首布和平首布。南宋時洪遵 《泉志》 已著錄有平首布，而確定空首布為錢幣的始于清人。從嘉慶、道光時開始，有的古錢學家已指出布幣上的地名屬于周的列國時期，從而否定了有些人以為是三皇五帝時期遺物的錯誤說法。
布幣，春秋早期出現，直至戰國晚期鑄行并流通的鏟形貨幣。“布”是“镈”的同聲假借字，在古代通用。布幣是從青銅農具鎛演變而來的，主要在三晉、兩周地區通行。按布幣形狀劃分，可分為空首布、平首布兩大類。
最初的布幣，保留著其作為工具的模樣，留有裝柄的的銎，原始而厚重，故稱為空首布；后來逐漸減輕，變薄，變小，幣身完全成為片狀，稱為平首布。平首布上面通常鑄有地名或紀重的文字。后來王莽的新朝亦曾造布幣。由此可見三孔布幣的收藏價值和歷史價值。
The cloth coin is an ancient Chinese currency. It is also called spade because of its shape. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the spade-shaped copper coins circulated in the Central Plains. The shovel tool was once the medium of folk trade, so the earliest coins were made into shovels.
Cloth is the meaning of linen, linen is also one of the trading media. After the appearance of copper coins, people still call copper coins cloth because of the influence of long-term habits. But some predecessors also thought that cloth is the homophone of Qian Di. The coins are separated into blank and peaceful ones. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Hong Zun's Quanzhi had recorded the plain head cloth, and it was from the Qing Dynasty that the empty head cloth was defined as coin. From the time of Jiaqing and Daoguang, some ancient money scholars have pointed out that the place names on the coins belonged to the period of Zhou Dynasty, thus denying the misconception that some people thought they were relics of the period of Three Emperors and Five Emperors.
Bu coin, which appeared in the early Spring and Autumn Period, was a shovel currency that was minted and circulated in the late Warring States Period. "Bu" is a homophonic borrowing word of "Ba", which is commonly used in ancient times. Cloth coins evolved from bronze farm tools and were mainly used in Sanjin and two-week areas. According to the shape of cloth, it can be divided into two categories: empty cloth and flat cloth.
The original cloth, retaining its shape as a tool, with a handle of the primitive and thick, so called empty cloth; later gradually reduced, thinned, smaller, the body of the coin completely into a sheet, known as flat cloth. Plain head cloth is usually cast with place names or chronological characters. Later, Wang Mang's new dynasty also made coins. Thus we can see the collection value and historical value of the three-hole cloth coin.
