Comments

Training notes issued by Chinese financial institutions for teller education are rarely documented in standard catalogs, and polymer examples are rarer still — the substrate makes them more durable for repeated handling drills, which is precisely the point. These were never intended to leave the training room, let alone enter a collection. The fact that any survive outside institutional destruction is largely a matter of attrition rather than deliberate preservation.
