| Comments |
The 1999 10 Yuan series produced a known variety in which the romanized word "YUAN" was omitted from the denomination text — a straightforward printing error rather than an intentional design change. China Banknote Printing and Minting Corporation produced enormous quantities of this series, and quality control lapses of this kind, while uncommon, are documented across several denominations from this period.
The error was not officially acknowledged, and affected notes entered circulation without recall. Collector interest has always outpaced confirmed population data for this variety.
