In Guangzhou, there is a "vertical X postal currency trading center", which is known as the largest philatelic trading market in South China. There are all kinds of strange stones, jade and ceramic stamps in ancient and modern China and abroad, and even some are wrong editions of RMB. The reporter conducted an in-depth interview with great interest and finally understood the mystery of these wrong editions of RMB.
Real gold+digging = "wrong money"
Use a special blade to dig out the place where the ticket face needs to be changed, and then reverse the dug part and paste it again. Its digging and patching technology is more accurate than digging and patching train tickets.
A few days ago, early in the morning, when a reporter wandered around the antique ceramic market (skylight market) in Wenchang Road, Guangzhou, he found an inconspicuous corner of the market. A middle-aged man was selling several wrong versions of the fourth set of RMB, and someone came forward to bargain. When they feel suspicious, they lean forward to look. After several rounds of bargaining, the reporter bought 1 RMB with the face value of 50 yuan at the price of 1 yuan, and made "friends" with the man on the grounds of "long-term cooperation".
In recent years, how many wrong editions of RMB have there been? After returning home, the reporter looked around with the wrong coins bought by Hua 150 yuan. Except that the word "50" in the lower left corner of the back of a coin is upside down, it is no different from a real coin. After that, the reporter sent the coin to a bank for verification, and it was verified as real money by the money detector.
Did this coin really make a mistake in the printing process? Out of professional sensitivity, the reporter quickly thought that in recent years, some ticket sellers in Guangzhou Railway Station used the method of digging short-distance train tickets to fill in long-distance train tickets for sales fraud. After repeated inspections, the reporter finally found a flaw on the edge of the "wrong version". It turns out that this inverted "50" is exactly the same as the method of digging the train ticket: dig the surface layer with a special blade where the ticket face needs to be changed, and then paste the dug part upside down, but its digging technology is more accurate than digging the train ticket.
In order to further understand the situation, the next day, the reporter took the "wrong edition" of 50 yuan RMB and found the "longitudinal × postal currency trading center" located at No.288 Haizhu Middle Road, Guangzhou, according to the phone number and address left by the middle-aged man, and found a "friend" selling the "wrong edition" in an antique booth on the third floor of the center.
Change a wrong coin of 100 yuan and charge it to 3000 yuan.
There are four ways to make the wrong version of RMB: one is to change the capitalization of "100" and "500" in the currency center to upside down; The second is to change the lowercase of "100" and "50" to upside down; The third is to change "China People's Bank" to flip; Fourthly, the watermark dark image in the paper money is changed to be inverted.
"Friends" are particularly affectionate when they meet. Seeing that the reporter really came to "patronize", the middle-aged man smiled and said hello. After talking, the reporter learned that the man surnamed Lin has worked here for many years. After chatting for a while, the reporter said that the wrong version of 50 yuan coins sold by a "friend" to the reporter was fake. Seeing that the reporter didn't mean to make trouble, Lin admitted it and explained that it can be so cheap without fakes.
In order to further understand the inside story, the reporter frequently handed cigarettes to Lin, saying that he would worship him as a teacher and enter the antique industry. Lin can be a journalist supplier for a while.
Seeing that the reporter is so "sincere" and can help the business for a long time, Lin suddenly became wary and expressed his willingness to accept the reporter as an "apprentice". Being both disciples and colleagues, their relationship naturally becomes extremely active. The reporter made a boss who wanted to do something in an antique shop, talked about the bright future of the "antique" industry according to Lin's appetite, and said that he would buy goods from Lin immediately after choosing a booth.
Lin then introduced the type, location and price of the "wrong version" of RMB to the reporter, which is likely to pass on the "knowledge" he has mastered to the reporter at one time. Lin told reporters that they can make all kinds of wrong editions according to customers' requirements. 100 RMB and 50 yuan RMB have four misprints. One is to change the capitalization of "100" and "500" in the monetary center to upside down; The second is to change the lowercase of "100" and "50" to upside down; The third is to change "China People's Bank" to flip; Fourthly, the watermark dark image in the paper money is changed to be inverted. He also said that all paper money can be changed from 1 cent to 100 yuan.
However, in the "wrong edition" banknotes, the prices are different with different positions. The standard is: capitalization should be reversed, 100 yuan coupons should be 1 in 500 yuan and150 ~1in 200 yuan; Lowercase should be reversed, 100 yuan for 200 yuan 1, 100 yuan for 50 yuan coupons1; The dark image of the watermark is changed. 100 yuan coupons need 3000 yuan 1, and 50 yuan coupons need 1500 yuan 1.
However, the above prices are not fixed. If you really buy it, both parties can negotiate a deal. The reporter asked, why is there such a big difference in the price of RMB with the same denomination because of different locations? Lin said that this is because the difficulty of change is different.
Money and coins can be dug up
There are also two ways to change money, one is to change words and the other is to dig.
Lin further told reporters that "wrong edition" coins, not only paper money can be exchanged, but also coins can be exchanged, and asked reporters if they needed coins. The reporter said that coins are worthless and unprofitable. Lin said that it's not that coins are worthless, but that journalists don't understand. He told reporters that there are several kinds of coins that are not available in the market and are very valuable. It is also said that there are five heavenly kings in the coin (namely, 1979 "five cents", 198 1 year edition "two cents", 1 cent "five cents". As long as someone collects it, even the smallest things are profitable. Lin went on to say that the 198 1 year version of the "1 min" coin has been sold in the market to 1000 yuan 1 piece; 1980 version "2 points" needs 1 block from 800 yuan; 300 yuan 1 Replace the previous edition with three nickels. The reporter asked how to change coins: Lin said that there are specialized personnel to change the system. These people rely on this bowl of rice, and their skills are also very good.
Lin told reporters that there are two ways to change money, one is to change words, and the other is to dig up. Changing the word, such as "1 minute" in the annual version of 198 1 is to change "4" in 1984 to "1"; "2 points" in 1980 is to change the word "6" into the word "0" in 1986; The "5 points" in 1979 is to change 8 words in 1989 into "7". The price of coins exchanged in this way is generally 5 ~ 1 in 20 yuan. There is also a higher technology, that is, dig out the words to be changed and paste the words needed to make them fake, but the price is higher, which is 50~ 100 yuan 1 block.
In the conversation with Lin, the reporter learned that the ways and means of criminals using RMB to make and sell fake goods are far more than these. They also launched a nickname version to cater to the psychology of some collectors. It can be said that they have used enough thoughts.
Laser printing "beautiful name" is your choice.
In addition, there is a number, such as "NO3588888", which has the same number of digits and is also a "beautiful number" ... The way to change it is to wash off the original number with liquid medicine first, and then print it into the required "beautiful number" with laser.
The number of RMB published in China is "one yuan for one", but there must be some numbers with the same number in the numbering process, such as RG00000 1~RG0000009 in paper money. These nine numbers are "nice names" and are also valuable in the eyes of collectors. In addition, there is another number, such as "NO3588888", which is also the same number and a "brute number". Forgers can change it into several such "pretty" banknotes, regardless of denomination. The way to change it is to wash off the original numbers with liquid medicine first, and then print them into the required "beautiful numbers" with laser.
In contrast, it is much easier to make a "dime" of a "wrong edition" than coins and large denomination banknotes. The method of making "misprinted" paper money from "dime" to "dime" is to soak the real money in liquid medicine, then slowly peel off the front and back of the money, dry it, coat it with glue, and then turn one side upside down and stick it on, so that it becomes a "misprinted" coin without any loopholes. The price of such "wrong edition" coins generally ranges from 40 to 1 piece in 50 yuan.
Lin said that in addition to the renminbi circulating in the market, banknotes that are not circulating can also be exchanged. He told reporters that in RMB banknotes, the numbers of "one point", "two points" and "five points" are only Roman numerals, and there is no Arabic font. Among the coins in the world, only China has Roman numerals. Many of these Roman numerals are very rare, and some collectors urgently need to collect a set of RMB banknotes, such as No.336 (Rome) in the "five-cent" banknote. Its fake method is to wash away the unwanted numbers with liquid medicine first, and then make various numbers with laser printing. Nine times out of ten, the "baby" made in this way is fooled by newcomers.
Badge silver dollar will also be fake.
There are also two ways to make fake silver dollars, one is to make fake silver dollars with real silver, and the other is to make "silver dollars" with iron.
According to the reporter's understanding, it is illegal to make the "wrong version" of RMB, and once it is seized, it will go to jail. Lin said that the number of people engaged in "wrong edition" is gradually decreasing, and most of them turn to various badges, commemorative medals and fake silver dollars. The asking price of an "Army 13th Division Shooting Medal" marked as the awarding unit is "Kuomintang Ninth Theater Cadre Training Corps" is 100 yuan, but the cost of such a diamond-shaped iron plate is less than 1 yuan.
There are also two ways to make fake silver dollars, one is to make fake silver dollars with real silver, and the other is to make "silver dollars" with iron. The prices of two kinds of "silver dollars" with different plastids are naturally different. Whether you know the goods or not depends on the buyer's eye.
What needs to be put forward is that such tricks are openly staged in large legal markets, and it is not a day or two, which cannot but make people think deeply.
There is no wrong version of RMB in circulation.
Zhen Weigang, chairman of Guangdong Coin Collection Association, said in an interview with this reporter on the 22nd:
(1) A few years ago, the People's Bank of China also discovered that there were so-called wrong editions of RMB circulating among the people, and specially organized an expert investigation in a banknote printing factory, and found that the so-called wrong editions were all fake and artificially made.
② The probability of misprinting RMB is extremely low, but it does not rule out that some printing technologies are not high. However, the fourth and fifth sets of RMB printing technology in circulation have been greatly improved, and so far I have never heard of the real wrong version of coins.
(3) The wrong version of RMB has never been auctioned in the international and domestic auction markets, so it is difficult to determine how much the real wrong version of RMB has collection value or value.
(4) Forged version of RMB is an act of destroying RMB. China's criminal law has clear sanctions against counterfeiting, selling fake goods and maliciously damaging RMB. Once seized, criminal responsibility can be investigated according to the circumstances of the crime.
