Bank of Communications teller training notes occupy an odd corner of Chinese notaphily — produced for internal bank use to familiarize staff with handling and authentication procedures, they were never intended to leave the institution. Most were destroyed after use, which makes survivors genuinely uncommon despite having no legal tender status.
Exact print runs are unrecorded, and the issuing period for individual examples is rarely documented internally. Attribution to specific decades often relies on design clues rather than official records.
