With a long history and a large number of banknotes, Chinese banknotes have witnessed historical progress, recorded economic booms and busts, and reflected social livelihoods. The historical and collectible value of banknotes continues to grow with the passage of time and changes in eras. Finding joy in research and summarizing patterns from collecting can complement learning and appreciation, which helps improve the knowledge and appraising skills of banknote collectors. Banknote collecting inevitably involves economics, and collectors typically pursue their collections through the following three methods: 1. Funding the collection with ticket sales. 2. Supplementing the collection with income from other sources. 3. Acquiring banknotes from an investment perspective. However, the market value of banknote collecting fluctuates and changes significantly, making it difficult to define and grasp. Based on the suggestions and assistance of numerous banknote collectors, the main features of this series of catalogs are closely tied to the market, aiming to provide relatively objective and accurate price references for fellow collectors. The arrangement of this series of catalogs prioritizes chronological order, with the nature of the banknotes as a secondary consideration. It includes content such as Qing Dynasty banknotes, the banknotes of the four major national banks during the Republic of China period, the banknotes of provincial local banks during the Republic of China period, commercial banknotes, foreign merchant notes, banknotes of the Japanese and puppet regimes, and military-use banknotes.
