Let's briefly talk about the value and collection prospect of the third set of RMB.

The first set of RMB was issued from 1 948 65438+February1,and by the end of February1953 65438+February, 60 kinds of RMB were issued. Due to the conditions at that time, the paper and printing quality of this set of RMB was uneven, and its anti-counterfeiting performance was poor. However, due to the small number of prints, it has existed for a long time. The second set of RMB was issued from 1 955 March1,and * * was issued 13. Due to political reasons, the fifty-third edition of ten-yuan notes ceased to circulate on April 5 1964, and the fifty-third edition of three-yuan and five-yuan notes was issued on May 5 1964. /kloc-0 stopped circulating at the end of September 1998, while the first, second and fifth coupons did not stop circulating until April 2007 1.

The fifth set of RMB was issued from 1999 10 1, and * * * 6 denominations were issued,1/banknotes.
As can be seen from the issuing time, the third set of RMB was born in the difficult period of China's economy, which spanned the important historical periods of China's first five-year plan, three years of natural disasters, the Cultural Revolution, reform and opening up, etc. It lasted for 38 years and experienced the arduous struggle of our people, which not only left a glorious page in the history of coinage in China, but also played an irreplaceable role in the history of social, political and economic development in China. Therefore, it has more research and collection value.
First, the historical value of the third set of RMB.
The third set of RMB, with a face value ranging from 10 yuan to 10 yuan, is printed with the words "Combination of Education and Productive Labor", "Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge", "Textile Workshop", "Female Tractor Driver", "Turner", "Steelmaker" and "People's Deputies Walk Out of the Great Hall" on the front respectively. On the back, the patterns of chrysanthemum, peony, plum blossom, cotton, Tianshan grazing, oil mine and open-pit coal mine are adopted respectively. Each denomination ticket has an independent and distinct theme, and the positive and negative sides reflect each other and echo each other, which truly records the social politics, economic construction, the elegant demeanor of people from all walks of life, national customs and the historical situation of people being masters of their own affairs, unity, harmony, hard struggle and hard work, and has typical cultural relics characteristics and social historical value.
Second, the position of the third set of RMB in the history of coinage.
The third set of RMB completely broke the traditional border design mode, canceled the border and formed an open composition, which made the picture look broad and far-reaching. In papermaking technology, engineers and technicians overcame difficulties and produced four kinds of banknote printing paper with different watermarks, ending the history of watermark banknote printing paper relying on foreign imports; In the process of plate-making, except the main picture is completely hand-carved, the shading and patterns of face value figures are all machine-carved or combined with hand-carved and machine-carved; In the printing process, multi-color printing and multi-color wiring technology are adopted for the first time; There are also major innovations in ink production. It is the first set of banknotes designed and printed by our country, which is a milestone in the history of coinage development.

The third set of RMB banknote printing paper includes fixed Tiananmen watermark, ancient coin star watermark, full version of national flag five-pointed star watermark, full version of hollow five-pointed star watermark and no watermark.

The seals of the president and vice president can be divided into gravure printing, offset printing and steel printing; Have a secret memory, no secret memory, and so on. There are 36 versions, 38 versions or more.

Printing paper money is a systematic project, involving design, plate making, ink, paper and printing. Paper money is a special product, and its order, distribution, manufacturer determination and coordination of all links must be strictly implemented under the leadership of the head office of the People's Bank of China. However, due to the turbulent period of the Cultural Revolution in the printing process of the third set of RMB, some doubts have been left in many aspects, such as the ranking of crown characters and the production time of various factories. So far, there is no authoritative book to introduce it in detail, which also provides collectors with a world of exploration and research.
Fourth, the ornamental and educational value of the third set of RMB.
The third set of RMB is the crystallization of knowledge and art. The face pattern contains rich cultural connotations in humanities, history, geography, nationality, writing, calligraphy and fine arts, showing the artistic talents of Luo, Zhou, Chen Ruoju and Deng Zhu, and highlighting the artistic skills of the older generation of sculptors such as Wu, Ju Wenjun, Lin and Liu. Among them, the 50-cent coupon Textile Workshop, the 1-yuan coupon Female Tractor Driver and the 2-yuan coupon Turning Worker are all classic works, and the 5-yuan coupon Steelmaker is praised as the world's outstanding works by the international coin industry.
