Why is the new version of 5 yuan banknotes issued?
Speaking of the issuance of the fifth set of RMB 5 notes in the 2020 edition.
The staff of the central bank pointed out that this move is based on the overall arrangement of RMB promotion, in order to adapt to the development and changes in the use of RMB circulation, improve the overall design level and anti-counterfeiting capabilities of the RMB, and maintain the fifth set of RMB serialization.
Regarding the innovation of anti-counterfeiting technology, the staff of the central bank stated that on the basis of the current 2005 edition of the fifth set of RMB 5 yuan banknote anti-counterfeiting technology, the anti-counterfeiting features such as luster light variable denomination numbers, gravure counter-print denomination numbers, and gravure counter-print patterns have been added.

It is worth noting that this new version of the 5 yuan banknote uses gravure counter-print denomination numbers and gravure counter-print patterns.
The gravure counter-print denomination number and gravure counter-print pattern are realized by double-sided gravure counter-print technology. Through light observation, it can be seen that the partial patterns on the front and back compose a complete counter-print denomination number and the counter-print pattern. The touch has a bumpy feel.
This technology is a special banknote printing technology independently developed by my country, which fully demonstrates the security and innovation of RMB anti-counterfeiting technology. This is the first time that this technology has been applied to circulating RMB banknotes.
Netizen: I haven't touched money for a long time

Weibo User Comments
On November 2nd, the Weibo topic #你有多久没用了纸钱了# sparked a heated discussion among netizens. Netizens said: "I haven't touched money for a long time", "I haven't spent banknotes in some years", "I don't remember what it is. That's it."

Some netizens also said: “I use it basically every day, the cash has a better look and feel, and the visual impact is greater”.
In addition, some netizens complained: "When you go shopping, some stores are not willing to accept them, and they are a bit disgusted."
On September 30 this year, the central bank issued a document stating that the renminbi is my country’s legal tender and no unit or individual shall refuse to accept renminbi cash.
All payment entities are requested to respect the public's right to choose payment and jointly safeguard the legal status of the RMB.
On October 27, the China Banking Association issued the "Initiative on Protecting Consumers' Legal Rights and Maintaining the Order of RMB Cash Circulation", stating that it maintains the status of RMB as legal tender and encourages the harmonious development of diversified RMB payment methods.
While encouraging the use of safe and legal non-cash payment tools, banking financial institutions must maintain normal RMB cash payments to protect the people and consumers' right to choose payment methods.
