宣、元、成、哀、平五世，亡所變改。 Across the five reigns of Xuan, Yuan, Cheng, Ai, and Ping, nothing was changed.

自孝武元狩五年三官初鑄五銖錢，至平帝元始中，成錢二百八十億萬餘云。 From the fifth year of Yuanshou under Emperor Wu, when the Three Offices first cast wuzhu coins, to the middle of the Yuanshi era under Emperor Ping, more than 280 billion coins were cast, it is said.
