is the "latest sixth set of rmb" coming? "the 1,000-yuan rmb will be available next year"? the online post also included sample pictures of the so-called "new version of rmb", including a pink 1,000-yuan note with a "dragon" pattern and a brown 500-yuan note with a leader's portrait. is this true?

fake news!

verification found that the 1,000-yuan banknote sample with a dragon pattern was 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.

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

in addition, the public should also be wary of various false news and fake products disguised as "beta versions" or "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.

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."

since the founding of the people's republic of china, my country has issued five sets of rmb. these five sets of rmb not only record the development of my country's economy, but also reflect the changes of the times and the progress of technology. at present, the first, second and third sets of rmb have ceased to circulate. the rmb in circulation on the market is mainly the fifth set, and there is a small amount of the fourth set of rmb:

my country's first set of rmb was issued on december 1, 1948, and ceased to circulate on may 10, 1955. it unified the currencies issued by the revolutionary regimes in various liberated areas, replaced the currencies issued by the kuomintang regime, stopped the circulation of gold, silver and various foreign currencies, and made the unified currency occupy the national market.

the second set of rmb was issued on march 1, 1955, and was declared out of circulation on december 31, 1998. starting from the second set of rmb, rmb coins were issued, and the currency of new china entered an era of mixed circulation of paper and coins, which played a due role in improving my country's monetary system and promoting socialist economic construction.

the third set of rmb was issued on april 20, 1962. it has a reasonable structure, a complete range of paper and coin varieties, a clear design concept, and a further improvement in printing technology. the third set of rmb is the first set of currency independently developed by my country, and has played an important role in ensuring the steady development of my country's socialist economic construction for a long time.

the fourth set of rmb began to be issued on april 27, 1987, and two large-denomination notes of 50 and 100 yuan were added. this played a significant role in adapting to the development of the commodity economy, facilitating circulation, and improving efficiency.

the fifth set of rmb was issued on october 1, 1999, with eight denominations, including 10 cents, 50 cents, 1 yuan, 5 yuan, 10 yuan, 20 yuan, 50 yuan, and 100 yuan. the 2 yuan and 20 cents notes were cancelled, and the 20 yuan denomination was added. the theme characters, watermarks, and denomination numbers were enlarged compared with the previous ones, and the arabic numerals were highlighted for easy identification and use; the automatic processing functions and anti-counterfeiting performance of banknote machine reading were improved; and a variety of new anti-counterfeiting technologies such as fixed flower watermarks, red and blue color fibers, and holographic magnetic window security lines were adopted.
