The Bank of Taiwan's 100,000 Yuan note of 1949 belongs to the hyperinflationary death spiral of the Old Taiwan Dollar, a currency so rapidly destroyed by inflation that denominations escalated from single digits to six figures within a matter of months. The Nationalist government's retreat from the mainland brought catastrophic monetary pressure to the island, and notes like this one were essentially obsolete almost from the moment of printing.
The Old Taiwan Dollar was replaced by the New Taiwan Dollar in June 1949 at a conversion rate of 40,000 to 1 — a figure that captures just how far the currency had collapsed.
