What are the changes in the new version of RMB?
Many people are curious about the changes in the appearance of the 2019 version of the RMB. Generally speaking, this new version improves the brightness of the face color, optimizes the structural level and effect of the face, and improves the overall anti-counterfeiting performance.
Let’s talk about banknotes first. The new version of 10 yuan, 20 yuan and 50 yuan banknotes has adjusted the style of the decorative flowers, added decorative patterns on the left side, and adjusted the styles of horizontal numbers and offset printing patterns. In addition, light-changing hollow window security lines and vertical numbers are added on the right side, and the styles of the Mao Zedong avatar and denomination numbers in the upper right corner are adjusted, and the gravure printing hand lines are cancelled.

In addition, there are slight differences. For example, the new version of the 10 yuan and 20 yuan banknotes has canceled the holographic magnetic window security line. The 50 yuan banknote has canceled the light-changing ink denomination number in the lower left corner, and the hollow window security line has a "dynamic light-changing" style.
1 Yuan banknotes have relatively few adjustments, mainly adjusting the denomination numbers and the style of decorative flowers in the middle of the front; adding decorative patterns and white watermarks of denomination numbers on the left side, adjusting the style of the horizontal numbers, and canceling the decorative patterns in the lower left corner; adjusting the style of Mao Zedong avatar on the right side, and canceling the gravure feel line. The back of the new version of
banknotes has also been changed. You can see that the main scene, denomination numbers and other styles have been adjusted, the partial pattern in the lower right corner has been cancelled, and the year number has been changed to "2019". In addition, the holographic magnetic window security thread has been removed from the 50-yuan banknote.
Do you still remember the fisherman in the "Guilin Landscape" on the back of the 20 yuan yuan? Many netizens noticed that the fisherman seemed to have changed from one person to two people, and bluntly said that the fisherman was single. In fact, there is a fish basket next to the fisherman. Liu Yongjiang, technical director of the China Banknote Printing and Minting Corporation, also said, "This time we added details such as cormorants, fish baskets, and lamps. The entire face of the note further shows the characteristics of Guilin's landscape and culture."

What are the changes in the 2019 version of the coin? It is understood that the shapes of the denomination numbers on the front of the coins with three numerical values have been adjusted this time. The font of the denomination numbers has been adjusted from serif to sans-serif and slightly tilted to achieve better visual effects. The floral pattern on the back is appropriately shrunk.
In addition, in order to facilitate the public to carry and use, the diameter of the 1 yuan coin was adjusted from 25 mm to 22.25 mm. Invisible graphics "￥" and "1" are added within the outline of the denomination number "1" on the front. Just like the 1 dime coin, dots are added on the edge of the front.
However, when it comes to the biggest change in the new version of the RMB, it has to be the 50-cent coin. Its material was changed from copper-plated steel core to nickel-plated steel core, and the color was changed from golden yellow to nickel white. The inner periphery of the front and back was adjusted from circular to polygonal.

As for why the material was changed, this is because the steel core copper-plated alloy production process used in the fifth set of RMB 50 coins in the 109 edition is a backward process to be eliminated according to the national industrial policy.
Overall, “the 2019 version of the RMB has the characteristics of being ‘more beautiful, easier to identify, and resistant to circulation’.” Li Huifeng, deputy director of the Monetary and Gold and Silver Bureau of the People’s Bank of China, said.
How to prevent counterfeiting of the new version of RMB?
Is the new version of RMB easy to be counterfeited? How to identify authenticity? This is probably what many people are most concerned about.
In fact, the new version of RMB has put a lot of effort into anti-counterfeiting.According to the China Banknote Printing and Minting Corporation, on the basis of the anti-counterfeiting technology of the current fifth set of RMB banknotes (2005 version of 50 yuan, 20 yuan, and 10 yuan banknotes, 1999 version of 1 yuan banknote), the 50 yuan, 20 yuan, and 10 yuan banknotes have added anti-counterfeiting features such as optically variable denomination numbers, optically variable hollow window security threads, magnetic fully buried security threads, and vertical numbers.
Let’s first talk about the optically variable denomination numbers of Guangcai. You must know that Guangcai optically variable technology is recognized as an advanced anti-counterfeiting technology in the international banknote printing field and is easy for the public to identify.
The fifth set of RMB 50, 20, and 10 yuan banknotes in the 2019 edition have glossy light-changing denomination numbers printed in the middle of the face. As shown in the picture below, when you change the viewing angle of the banknote, the color of the denomination numbers changes, and a bright strip of light can be seen rolling up and down.

light-changing hollow window security thread is also a commonly used public anti-counterfeiting feature. The 2019 version of the 50-yuan banknote adopts a dynamic light-changing hollow window security thread to change the viewing angle of the banknote. The color of the security thread changes between red and green. The bright strip rolls up and down, and "¥50" can be seen when viewed through light.

The 2019 version of the 20-yuan and 10-yuan banknotes use a light-changing hollow window security thread, similar to the 2015 version of the 100-yuan banknote. By changing the viewing angle of the banknote, the color of the security thread changes between red and green; when viewed through light, "¥20" can be seen on the 20-yuan banknote, and "¥10" can be seen on the 10-yuan banknote.

Not only that, the new version of RMB banknotes has also taken various other measures to improve anti-counterfeiting technology and printing quality. For example, the watermark clarity and layering effect have been significantly improved; the strength of banknote paper has been significantly improved, and the circulation life has been longer; anti-fouling protective coatings are used on both sides of the banknotes, and the cleanliness has been significantly improved; the font design of the crown number of the fifth set of RMB 100 banknotes in the 2015 edition is continued, which is conducive to the identification of cash machines.
As for the cancellation of the holographic magnetic window security thread and the gravure printing touch line, the 50-yuan banknotes have canceled the optically variable ink denomination numbers, and the 1-yuan banknotes have added magnetic fully buried security threads and white watermarks. These designs also make the layout more reasonable, and the overall anti-counterfeiting capability is significantly improved compared to the current banknotes.
Not only banknotes, the new version of coins also adds anti-counterfeiting technology. For example, there is a set of invisible graphics and text "￥" and "1" in the outline of the denomination number on the front of the new 1 yuan coin. The magic of
is that if we turn the coin, we can observe "￥" from a certain angle, and "1" from another angle. This invisible image and text engraving technology is recognized as an advanced public anti-counterfeiting technology in the international coinage field, and it is easier for the public to identify authenticity.

currency verification equipment be updated simultaneously?
After the issuance of the new version of RMB, will banknote verification equipment be "lagging behind"?
In this regard, Li Huifeng said that banknote inspection equipment is divided into two types: machines for bank cash business and machines for social commercial use. At present, banking financial institutions are actively improving their equipment to ensure that they are in place and can identify and sort the new version of RMB. "When the new version of RMB is officially issued on August 30, there should be no problems."

"As for commercial banknote detection machines, the stock is relatively large, about 10 million units. At present, the central bank is also taking measures to improve it." Li Huifeng said. Why are
5 yuan and 100 yuan absent?
I believe many people have also discovered that this time the 2019 version of the RMB is issued, there are no "figures" of 5 yuan and 100 yuan banknotes. Why is this?
for not having a 5 yuan note? The central bank explained this: The People's Bank of China has continued to increase the research and development of new currency printing technologies in recent years. In order to improve the anti-counterfeiting capabilities and circulation life of the RMB, it currently selects 5-yuan banknotes with lower denominations and smaller circulation for application research on related new technologies, and its issuance work will be arranged separately.

Why is the 100 yuan not issued? "In November 2015, the central bank issued a new version of 100-yuan banknotes, and its anti-counterfeiting capabilities and printing quality have been significantly improved. So far, no counterfeit 100-yuan banknotes of the 2015 version have been found." Li Huifeng said that considering this situation, no hundred-yuan banknotes were issued in the 2019 version of RMB.
Why is the new version of RMB issued at this time?
According to Li Huifeng, so far, 50 yuan, 20 yuan, 10 yuan, and 1 yuan banknotes and 1 yuan, 50 cents, and 10 cents coins have been issued and circulated for 14 years. During this period, cash circulation has undergone tremendous changes, automatic cash processing equipment has developed rapidly, counterfeit currency counterfeiting has diversified, and currency anti-counterfeiting technology has accelerated, all of which have put forward higher requirements for the design level, anti-counterfeiting technology and printing quality of RMB.
Therefore, the People's Bank of China decided to issue the fifth set of RMB 50, 20, 10, and 1 yuan banknotes and 1 yuan, 50 cents, and 10 cents coins in the 2019 edition.

"While keeping the relevant elements such as the main pattern of the current fifth set of RMB unchanged, the effect of the note (coin) surface, anti-counterfeiting features and its layout have been adjusted, and advanced anti-counterfeiting technology has been used to improve anti-counterfeiting capabilities and printing quality, making it easy for the public and self-service equipment to identify." Li Huifeng said.
With the popularization of mobile payment, is it really necessary to release a new version?
Nowadays, whether shopping or transferring money, people have long been accustomed to mobile phone operations, and many people use RMB only a handful of times. Under such circumstances, is it necessary to issue a new version of RMB?
In this regard, the central bank explained that although the use of cash in our country has declined with the rapid development of non-cash payments, due to factors such as historical evolution, consumer habits, and the needs of remote areas and special groups, cash will still be an important payment tool in our country for a long time.
So it is still necessary to issue a new version of RMB!
