| Comments |
Practice notes issued by Chinese state banks for teller training are rarely documented in mainstream catalogs, and the Bank of China series from the Shijiazhuang factory occupies an odd space — produced with sufficient fidelity to serve as realistic handling exercises, yet intentionally distinguished from legal tender to prevent substitution. The Shijiazhuang facility, part of the broader network under China Banknote Printing and Minting Corporation, has produced both circulating currency and security documents, making its output on training material genuinely difficult to authenticate without reference specimens.
Collector interest has grown precisely because official destruction protocols mean surviving examples exited the system through irregular channels.
