Info On Notes Required

Hi All,

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I picked up this note from my local shop a few days ago.





I've done some research on Kinmen and its history etc. Learned that the Bank of Taiwan issued notes for use at remote outlying island use only (Kinmen, Dachen, and Matsu), and these notes are not for use in mainland Taiwan itself.

However, I wasn't able to find out why did the Bank of Taiwan do this? Is there a problem using their New Taiwan Dollar at these outlying islands? Are these island residents able to exchange their "local" money to the NT if they visit the mainland?

Appreciate any info and or links. Chinese language links are ok too :)


Thanks.
