光绪二十六年(1900年)，委藩司张曾、盐法道杨文鼎督办局务，办理接受机器厂房、物料等事宜。其鼓铸费用均由该司、道设法筹款。铸成后发商行用。闽省自接办后改为“福建银元局”俗称东局，该造币厂是在光绪31年设立的，往后所铸银元，其币上端均书“福建官局造”，与他省截然不同。闽省习用银角，由于该钱局由于经营不善，所以铸造铜元的时间不长，就停止铸造了。其主币库平一钱四分四厘铸额不多，留存至今绝少。In the 26th year of Guangxu's reign (1900), Zhang Zeng and yang wending of yanfa road were appointed to supervise the administration and handle the acceptance of machinery and materials. The drum casting cost is managed by the department and the way to raise funds. It is used by post-development firms. Fujian Province was renamed "Fujian Silver Dollar Bureau" after taking over the office, commonly known as the Eastern Bureau. The mint was established in the 31st year of Guangxu's reign. Since then, silver coins have been minted, with the upper end of each coin inscribed "Fujian Official Bureau Made", which is completely different from other provinces. Fujian Province used to use silver coins. Due to poor management, the bureau stopped casting copper coins for a short time. Its main coin bank has a small amount of one-quarter and four-cent coins, which are rarely retained.
