The fifth set of RMB 5 notes in the new version has not been issued
Public information shows that in October 1999, the central bank issued the fifth set of RMB. In August 2005, in order to improve the anti-counterfeiting technology and printing quality, the people's Bank of China issued the fifth set of RMB paper coins in the 2005 edition. In November 2015, the people's Bank of China issued a new version of 100 yuan banknotes, which significantly improved its anti-counterfeiting ability and printing quality. So far, 50 yuan, 20 yuan, 10 yuan, 1 yuan notes and 1 yuan, 5 jiao and 1 jiao coins have been issued and circulated for more than ten years.

The central bank said that in recent years, the people's Bank of China has continued to strengthen the research and development of new currency printing technologies. In order to improve the anti-counterfeiting ability and circulation life of RMB, it currently selects 5 yuan notes with low denomination and small circulation volume for application research of relevant new technologies, and its issuance work is arranged separately.

When can these cash machines and tools be identified?
One of the issues of concern for the issuance of the new version of RMB is when cash machines and tools such as the banknote detector in the bank and the coin buying machine on the subway can be adjusted and upgraded in place?
The central bank said on the 29th that for bank cash machines and tools, the central bank has organized financial institutions and cash machine enterprises to carry out upgrading preparations to ensure that the bank cash machines and tools can recognize the new version of RMB after issuance. After the announcement date, the people's Bank of China will start the upgrading of the bank's cash machines and tools in use and carry out inspection in a timely manner. All cash machines and tools that cannot be upgraded and fail to meet the upgrading standards will be stopped.

At present, it is progressing smoothly and in line with the set expectations. " In other words, when the new version of RMB is officially circulated on August 30, we can ensure that all equipment in use by banking financial institutions can effectively identify the new version of RMB. " He said.
For social commercial cash machines and tools, the central bank will immediately guide social cash machines and tools enterprises to participate in upgrading after the announcement date, publish the list of enterprises with upgrading ability, and guide social machines and tools users to contact enterprises to carry out upgrading in time. In addition, it will focus on upgrading the machines and tools within its management scope in conjunction with the State Administration of market supervision, traffic management departments and other relevant units. Before the issuance date, organize the branches of the people's Bank of China to conduct a thorough inventory of social commercial cash machines and tools.
What should we do if some social machines and tools are not upgraded in time and cannot be identified in the future? Liu Hao reminded that the application of public anti-counterfeiting technology is also a very important link. The anti-counterfeiting technology and anti-counterfeiting features of the new version of RMB can effectively ensure that the general public can identify the new version of RMB. The reporter noted that the central bank has published the anti-counterfeiting characteristics of the new version of RMB on its official website.

In recent years, some organizations hype the concept of "cashless" and some new retail enterprises refuse cash collection and payment in order to promote app, which has aroused widespread concern in the society. In July 2018, the central bank issued a notice on the rejection of cash to further standardize the selection and application of payment methods by socio-economic entities.
Some experts pointed out that although non cash payment is welcomed by more and more people, it still can not completely replace the function and role of cash
