Training notes issued by the China Rural Credit Cooperative Union were produced for teller instruction — teaching counter staff to handle, verify, and process banknotes without using legal tender in branch operations. The CRCCU, which unified rural credit cooperatives under a single national body following a 2003 restructuring directive from the State Council, had a large and geographically dispersed workforce requiring standardized training materials.
These pieces have no monetary value and were never intended for circulation, but they occasionally surface in collector markets because tellers kept them. Not errors, not proofs — just functional tools that outlasted the training sessions they were made for.
