yes .. it helps .... but the second way to detect a fake Chinese banknote is most effective .... scratch the hair of Chairman Mao on the note.... you can feel the hair on a real banknote. But on a fake banknote, the hair can not be felt ...


another way is make sure u do not received any 100rmb starting with HD90xxx and HQxxx ..
though we do spotted counterfeit notes starting with SAxxx and SQxxxx ..

one sure way is to feel the notes ... the counterfeit notes feel like digital copier paper .. it doesn't have the softness of the real notes ...


i was con of 2 counterfeit notes by the cab driver ...
they r very fast ... they literally change my 100rmb into a counterfeit ones right under my nose ...

as a matter of fact ... i realise cab drivers in china r the culprits in circulating counterfeit notes ... most shops and hotels checked all the notes when they receive it and when they return back to u, they make sure u r aware that it's not counterfeit ...
the 公安 should clamp down on these cab drivers ...

it's best not to carry the counterfeit notes once u've received it ...
i kept the 2 notes in my hotel safe ... i dun want to mistakenly gave them to someone else and get into any trouble ...
and it's great shame to us if we give them to meimei's though i must said it's the easiest way to get rid of it ... but it's not a right thing to do and is very non ethnic ...
