Chapter 354 RMB Collection

Zhou Furong took out a twenty note from his wallet and gave it to the child before, but accidentally, he took out a penny note that he treasured inside and floated to the ground.

The kid squatted down and picked it up, and found that it was actually an outdated penny, so he immediately teased: "Fat brother, can you still use this money?" Now it takes at least a dime to buy something, right? ”

"Be careful, you kid, this is very valuable, of course you can't buy things, but you can exchange money." Zhou Furong explained like this, and I don't know if these little kids can understand.

"Can you exchange money?" The children's eyes widened one by one, and then they asked, "How much can I get now?" I also have them at home, and many of them are one-and-a-half. ”

This time, it was Zhou Furong, Hong Lao and others who were surprised. The three of them almost unanimously said, "Then you go and show me." ”

The children didn't say a word, and immediately ran home. At the end, Old Man Zhou shouted in the back again: "By the way, bring your family members too." He was afraid that these children would not be able to be the masters, and when the time came, it would be bad to cause disputes if they bought them themselves.

Now, the renminbi collection is also very popular. It may be that in the rural areas where this kind of information is extremely backward, it will not be known that there are people outside who specialize in collecting this kind of banknote, and the price is not low.

As we all know, China has issued a total of five sets of renminbi. The first, second and third sets have been withdrawn from the market, and the fourth set is still in circulation in small quantities.

Needless to say, the first set of renminbi is too precious. According to statistics, at present, there are only 30 complete sets of the first set of RMB in China, and each set is quoted between 4 million and 6 million, which is worth more than some antiques.

The first set of renminbi was issued from December 1, 1948 to May 10, 1955, and was the only legal tender issued by the People's Bank of China. There are 12 denominations and 62 varieties of RMB, with a total denomination of 176.55 million yuan. Due to the long history of the first set of renminbi and the circulation time of only seven years, it has become the least surviving and most difficult set of renminbi in the collection market.

Chu Jiaqiang also heard a lot about RMB collection, especially when he was in college, he heard that a set of RMB sold for more than 100,000 yuan, which felt incredible. Later, he also learned about it, only to find out that the denomination of the first set of renminbi was very large, and there were even 50,000 pieces.

At the time, he didn't understand. It stands to reason that just after liberation, the people's living standards are not high, and there is no reason to print such a large denomination of banknotes. Only after looking for information did I understand that this is all a mess left by history. Before liberation, the Republic of China had been inflated year after year for many years, forcing the central government not to act in a hurry.

"If there is a first set, then it will be developed." Zhou Furong imagined.

Old Man Zhou knocked on him: "Don't dream, you kid, the first set is very few, and even if there is, that set of 62 pieces is almost impossible to collect completely." ”

It wasn't long before the children brought their adults over.

"Do you really want all this obsolete money?" A middle-aged man escaped a handful of colorful money from his trouser pocket. Good fellows, one, two, five, one, two, five, the largest denomination is five dollars, and there are quite a few coins. This is also understandable, in the countryside, five yuan was a lot at that time.

"Hmmm! These are the second and third sets, don't worry. I'll sort it out first, and I'll talk to you about it later. Zhou Furong said to the man.

Old Man Zhou and Old Man Hong greeted others, and there were seven or eight families who came over with money this time.

"Huh! How could there be three dollars. "A tourist picked up one, apparently he hadn't seen it for three dollars a piece.

"This one is the baby." Zhou Furong said to the others, and hurriedly took the one carefully.

The value of the second set of renminbi is very different, which is related to the amount of the world, although this set is not a street goods, but there are a lot. The denomination was relatively close to that of today's coins.

The denomination of the first set of renminbi was relatively large, and the unit value was relatively low, and when circulating and calculating, it was measured in units of 10,000 yuan, which was not conducive to the circulation of commodities and economic development, and brought great inconvenience to the people's lives.

In addition, due to the limitations of the material and technical conditions at that time, the paper quality of the first set of renminbi was poor, there were many types of coupons, the text description was single, and the face of the renminbi was seriously damaged. In order to change the shortcomings of the first set of renminbi denominations, improve the quality of printing, and further improve China's monetary system, this made the second set come out early.

Picking out the second set, Zhou Furong explained to the farmer: "Okay, let's talk about it now!" I'll give one hundred and sixty for one penny, and one hundred and forty for two cents......"

At this time, someone interjected and asked, "Won't it?" A cent is worth more than a two? ”

"You don't understand this, there are fewer in the market, and rare things are expensive, understand?" Zhou Furong explained clearly, and then continued: "This kind of five-point is also more precious, one thousand and seventy; seven hundred and eighty in a corner; One thousand ninety at two horns; The pentagram is not very valuable, give two hundred and fifty; three thousand of such a piece; Well! You don't have two pieces here, and two pieces are three thousand; Three dollars is worth it, and I'll give you fifty thousand. ”

Speaking of this, everyone immediately exploded, this is too big a difference, right? What was a few hundred or two thousand just now suddenly jumped to fifty thousand. It can also be seen that three dollars is really very little. The middle-aged man grinned happily, all this money was left by Lao Tzu, but he didn't expect it to be a huge amount of money. Fortunately, the cleaning was not thrown away during the New Year, otherwise the loss would have been great.

"This kind of five-dollar is not very valuable, give two thousand five! It's a pity that you don't have ten yuan, and ten yuan is the king of banknotes, and one is more than 200,000 yuan. Zhou Furong figured out the third set one by one, and then counted it, and made a clear deal with the villagers face to face.

"Mom! It's eighty-six in all, and you're rich. Another villager said enviously.

At this time, Mr. Zhou and Mr. Hong had already traded two villagers each, which seemed to be faster than Zhou Furong, but in fact, the harvest was not as big as that guy, mainly because there were not many in the second set, and most of them were in the third set.

"Hmmm! This one is more valuable, the second set of five yuan, I'll give 35,000! Hong Lao suddenly found a second set of five yuan, and his heart was slightly happy.

"Huh! Make no mistake, right? Just now, this guy only gave people two thousand five, and it seems that it is also the second set of five yuan. One tourist suddenly asked.

Hong Lao looked over and saw the one in Zhou Furong's hand, and immediately smiled: "Make no mistake, it's different." You see, my one is red, it's the '53 version. His one is yellow, it's the '56 edition, the least valuable one. In fact, there is another one in the second set of five yuan, which was also published in 56, but it is the seagull watermark version, about 16,000. ”

Everyone took a closer look and found that it was really a different version.
