本书是极少数将中国货币史作断代研究的著作。西汉货币史在中国货币史上，有其极重要的地位。西汉是中国社会个政治性的统一政府，而且又刚刚踫上中国社会进入「货币经济社会」的关键时刻，所以西汉政府首先遇到的一个课题，是必须制订一个全国性的货币制度，以应「货币经济社会」的需要。这一个课题，在以前的政府都没有遇见过；而在西汉以后的政府，则有西汉的前例可循。故西汉政府的处境，为困难。西汉政府，在制订货币制度时，非但为当代立法，亦可说是为后世立法。西汉货币史既然如此重要，故非作断代专深研究，无法真正暸解。本书写作，在史料之搜集排比过程中，用中国的考证方法；而在分析、解释史实时，则用现代经济学、货币学的理论。令中国古代史事，饶具现代意义。本书作于一九六一年，完稿于一九六四年。写作期间，蒙前辈学者如张丕介教授、牟润孙教授、全汉升教授、劳干教授、徐复观教授、张德昌教授等赐予审阅、订正，弥足珍贵。本书初版于一九七一年。原为十章；现经作者增订、补充，增为十一章，而内容更为充实。

细心的读者可能会发现，本书各章作者的观点不尽相同，在个别问题上甚至有较大的分歧。这主要是由于各人对有关问题的熟悉程度和观察问题的角度略有差异。我作为本书的主编，并没有对各部分强求一致，这一方面是为了尊重作者，另一方面也是为了发扬“百家争鸣”的精神，让读者自行判断。至于我在《总论》中的有些观点，只是我个人千虑之一得，并不代表其他作者的看法。特别应当说明的是，目前我国学术界和政界对我国是否已经发生了通货紧缩还存在着不同的看法，例如只承认我国出现了“通货紧缩的迹象”、“通货紧缩的趋势”、“面临通货紧缩的威胁”等等。尽管这些说法的产生有着各种各样的考虑和背景，但都不得不承认通货紧缩是我国经济界和政界应当正视的问题。近两年在中共中央和国务院的领导下，我国在应对通货紧缩方面已经积累了一些经验，而且从2000年9月以后已经基本上走出了通货紧缩阶段，但是由于形成我国通货紧缩的一些深层次原因仍然存在，还需要认真予以化解，以防通货紧缩卷土重来。
