The introduction of coins played a significant role in contributing to the downfall of the Zhou dynasty. The use of coins as a standard form of currency led to the centralization of economic power and weakened the authority of the Zhou rulers. Additionally, the use of coins facilitated increased trade and commerce, which further challenged the feudal system that the Zhou relied on for their political control. By introducing coins, the Zhou inadvertently helped to foster the conditions that led to their eventual downfall.
