Central bank cracks down on fake money
(Xinhua)
Updated: 2009-01-13 14:03 BEIJING -- China's central bank has stepped up efforts to crack down on counterfeit currency to ensure order during the traditional Spring Festival holiday.
Fake 100-yuan notes, most starting with the serial number "HD90," have been reported in more than ten Chinese provinces and cities. The Shanghai Headquarters of the People's Bank of China (PBOC) said Monday it has strengthened cooperation with the public security and commerce authorities in the fight against crimes on counterfeit Renminbi (RMB). The headquarters also ordered commercial banks to upgrade their counterfeit detection system.
Last week, Ye Yingnan, head of PBOC's Currency and Gold/Silver Bureau, said the counterfeit money detectors at banks and the ATMs (automatic teller machine) could spot fake banknotes. Ye said the counterfeit bank notes bear obvious distinctions and people could learn the difference. But he also called the public to be alert for the fake money during the Spring Festival holiday. The Spring Festival, or the Lunar New Year, falls on January 26 this year. |
