Save modern Chinese banknotes from China. I'd imagine the risk of counterfeiting your own nation's currency would deter them from doing it...at least for all the current issues (ancient Chinese to anything 75+ years old however, I'd stay away from)
It's a super big NO-NO to counterfiet their own currency in China. Ironic as the government won't step in or be concerned if it's any other countries currency... but they do see counteirfieting their own currency as a huge threat and will prosecute to the full extent of the law.
I have at one time even thought to switching to collecting chineese coins as there is such a marginal threat of counterfeits .. compared to that of other countries.
If there are any fake Yuan around IMO they could easily be exchanged in New Zealand. I exchanged some genuine Yuan notes at Kiwi Bank. They never checked them for authenticity, and they didnt know me. They are an agent for Travelex so you dont have to have a bank account with them
