This series includes denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 20, 50 and 100 yuan, each with designs depicting important historical figures and places in China. The 100-yuan bill, for example, features the portrait of Mao Zedong and the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.
Ancient banknotes and milestones in Chinese notemaking
The earliest banknotes in China date back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD), known as "flying money." During the Song Dynasty (960-1279), the first government paper money called "jiaozi" was introduced. In the modern era, China underwent several monetary changes, including the issuance of regional banknotes during the "warlord" era in the 1920s and 1930s. A significant milestone was the introduction of the renminbi in 1948, which unified the country's monetary system after years of fragmentation and conflict.
