Is there any other special bank notes we should be adding to our collection? 🇨🇳

You can ask at bank branches whether they have commemorative coins for sale. Or you can ask at the postal system about commemorative coins, which are formal and have transparent prices.

Yes. I hope you can find the bank notes from the Chinese Soviet Republic National Bank era. These are the bank notes issued between 1932 to 1937 in Communist controlled area when the Chinese Communist still existed as a rebel group before it seized power in 1949. You may ask why it is called the Chinese Soviet Republic National Bank. This is because present day China started out as a Soviet puppet state called the Chinese Soviet Republic (中华苏维埃共和国) and was directly funded by the Soviet Union. The Chinese Communist Party was sometime referred to as the Ruble Party at that time because the party members received money from the Soviet Union. You can look up 'Chinese Soviet Republic National Bank' in Wikipedia for more information.

That 500 note from 1930 is pre-civil war and is the currency of the Republic of China. The image of Dr. Sun Yat-Sen is like the George Washington of China. Sun is the originator of the Zhongshan suit as an equivalent to the western business suit which westerners always mistaken as the Mao suit. He is the only figure that both the ROC and PRC Governments still hold to high esteem and his portrait is still displayed every ten years at the huge National Day Parades in Tienanmen Square.

The fruit you ate like an apple is wax Apple, in Chinese we call it like "lotus mist". Nothing related tbh. It's watery but flavourless, Some people really like those fruit watery but non-sweet, with special fragrance.

Crispy roast pork belly. Its called 脆皮燒肉 in chinese. Also, if u check their community post, there is a close up picture of the pork and it does look like it has sesame and some other seasonings.

The one from 1930 is from the Nationalist government or Kuomingtang, the one that was defeated by the communists and moved to Taiwan. This note is definitely a collector’s item. The “European looking”building that printed on the note is probably one of the old buildings you can still see at the Bund in Shanghai.

@jplin68 2 күн бұрын

The Chinese health and hygiene authorities do take hygiene very seriously in the market. Sometimes unexpectedly you can see the health and hygiene inspectors walking around and checking on them. If they find out that your stall is not to the standard you can get a fine and your business shut down down for several days until you get your stall to the hygienic standard. Worst case scenario your business license getting revoke.

There are no flies in the vegetable market because of good hygiene! It will be better if you buy a complete set of coins ranging from 1 to 100, which were issued in the past and are no longer available in the market. You can make the seller cheaper! Those two fruits are expensive because they are rare varieties!
