Teller training notes issued by the People's Bank of China were produced for bank staff to practice cash handling, counterfeit detection, and mechanical sorting without consuming legal tender. The 2006 series corresponds to the fifth series of Renminbi (fifth generation, introduced 1999), and these practice specimens replicate the physical dimensions and paper weight of circulating notes so that training conditions are genuine.
They were never intended to leave the banking system. Examples that have survived in collector hands typically came through bank surplus disposals or staff retention — neither officially sanctioned.
