chinnotes Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 Well, this note cannot be real! Such a note was never issued! I have been collecting Chinese notes for nearly 50 years now, and I think I have most of the literature about this subject. I have a book "ji nan yin hang" issued in 2 volumes by the Hebei Branch of the Renmin Yinhang, which on 1128 pages deals with the history of this bank. Page 180 and following pages deal with the issue of the "ben piao" or "circulating bearer checks" how they are sometimes called in English. Only "ben piao" notes over 200, 500, and 1000 yuan were ever issued. They were issued in three instalments, in the first instalment the following "ben piao" notes were issued: 200 yuan notes: 2000 pcs. = 400.000 yuan 500 yuan notes: 400 pcs. = 200.000 yuan 1000 yuan notes: none 2nd instalment: 200 yuan notes: 2750 pcs. = 550.000 yuan 500 yuan notes: 1400 pcs. = 700.000 yuan 1000 yuan notes: 150 pcs. = 150.000 yuan 3rd instalment: 200 yuan notes: 3000 pcs. = 600.000 yuan 500 yuan notes: 1300 pcs. = 650.000 yuan 1000 yuan notes: 250 pcs. = 250.000 yuan So, all "pen piao" notes issued by the Jinan Bank (or "Bank of Chinan") amount to 3.500.000 yuan only!
