The Renminbi—most people are very familiar with it. However, many often only know that it can be used for shopping, circulation, and stored as wealth. Yet, relatively few people understand why it is called the Renminbi, when it was first issued, how many series and types have been issued, what its anti-counterfeiting features are, and how to care for it.
The book "Renminbi Knowledge Q&A" is aimed at the general public and introduces the basic knowledge of the Renminbi in a question-and-answer format, making it easy to understand. It not only promotes the policies, regulations, and management methods of Renminbi management but also creates conditions for improving the external environment of financial services. As the head of the department responsible for the issuance and circulation of the Renminbi at the People's Bank of China, I am delighted about the publication of this book and believe it will be well-received by readers.
The Renminbi is the country's "name card." The printing of the Renminbi incorporates the achievements of modern production processes, technology, and science, embodying the production level of China's printing industry. The design of the Renminbi's patterns carries profound cultural connotations of the Chinese nation's humanities and history. The Renminbi is closely related to the well-being of the general public. The history of Chinese coinage culture is long and profound, with thousands of years of monetary development recording the course of China's social and economic development. The Renminbi is the most trustworthy, stable in value, and beautifully printed currency in Chinese history, receiving high praise both domestically and internationally.
Caring for the Renminbi is a virtue that every citizen should possess. In daily life, using and caring for the Renminbi properly is a concrete manifestation of cherishing public property, upholding national reputation and image, and fostering national awareness. We should widely promote and vigorously advocate for the care of the Renminbi, making it an unconscious action for every member of society.
Throughout history, counterfeit money has always been like the devil accompanying the angel, inseparable from genuine currency. The development of modern science and technology has further facilitated criminal activities related to counterfeit money, making the fight against counterfeit Renminbi a long-term task that requires the joint efforts of the entire society. Mastering the anti-counterfeiting features of the Renminbi is an effective method to prevent harm to the public and protect the social and economic order.
Let us understand the Renminbi, care for the Renminbi, and uphold its reputation, working together to build a harmonious society.
