recently, a post appeared on an internet forum claiming that "the latest 6th set of rmb" and "1,000 rmb will be available next year", and attached pictures of the so-called "new version of rmb", including pink 1,000 rmb notes with a "dragon" pattern and brown 500 rmb notes with portraits of leaders. is this true?

if you have some knowledge about rmb, commemorative coins, etc., you can almost tell at a glance that this is fake news.

the reporter found that the 1,000-yuan banknote with a dragon pattern is highly similar to the 100-yuan "millennium dragon banknote" issued by the people's bank of china in 2000, with only slight differences in the face value and details. this is obviously the result of photo editing.

in fact, according to article 18 of the law of the people's republic of china on the people's bank of china, the people's bank of china shall announce the time, denomination, pattern, style and specifications of the new version of rmb when issuing it. however, the official channels of the people's bank of china have not issued any announcement on the issuance of the new version of rmb.

the reporter further searched and found that the news of "issuing new version of rmb with large denomination" is an old rumor that appears every now and then and has been debunked many times.

among them, the 1,000-yuan note sample was widely circulated in 2016. at that time, the central bank responded clearly: the central bank has no plan to issue large-denomination rmb, and the note sample is purely forged; as for the 500-yuan note sample, it was officially refuted as early as 2006, saying that it was fabricated by netizens.

the central bank pointed out that the act of creating and spreading false information about the rmb is an act of damaging the rmb, which will affect the normal circulation of the rmb, endanger the financial order, and is of a serious nature.

the central bank has publicly refuted the rumor

it is worth noting that in addition to not being deceived by the so-called "new version of rmb", the public should also be wary of various false news and fake products under the banner of "test versions" and "collectibles".

on some short video platforms and e-commerce platforms, some merchants selling "collections" and "crafts" are selling the so-called "test version of the new rmb." some are even stored in books and beautifully packaged.

on the short video platform, someone showed the so-called "rmb test currency"

however, industry insiders pointed out that the so-called "test banknotes" are printed by printing factories or merchants themselves imitating the design of rmb, and have nothing to do with the new version of rmb. in terms of collection value, the investment value of this type of "test banknotes" is not great, and "if the banknotes sold by merchants have a unit of measurement such as 'yuan' in addition to numbers, it may be suspected of being illegal." according to article 19 of the "people's bank of china law of the people's republic of china", "it is prohibited to forge or alter rmb. it is prohibited to sell or buy forged or altered rmb."

the shanghai rumor-busting platform reminds that the issuance of rmb is related to the national economy and people's livelihood. the central bank, authoritative media and other official channels will publicize and inform in advance, and the public can obtain information from them. do not believe online rumors, and do not buy so-called "collections" at will.
