These were in uncirculated condition and very 'crisp'. The serial numbers look to have been 'heavily' impressed. On close inspection I noticed small, random, somewhat faded, spots of different coloured (pink, green or blue)inks on some of the notes. Looking on various sites I also noticed some others have similar spots and on some of the other denominations in the series. At a catalog value of about $17.50 in UNC it could be an expensive investment for me. So my question is could the ones I was offered be genuine? Does anyone know if these have been a target of counterfeiters? Report this Post to the Staff

The usual telltale signs are serial numbers that begin with AB, numbers that are not aligned properly, numbers in a font not used on the original notes, and the copies are lithographed and not intaglio printed.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 05/14/2015 11:58 am I used to see Chinese Customs Gold Units notes in dealer's note junk boxes available for as little as $1 each. By 'used to see', that means more than 20 years ago. Report this Post to the Staff
lettow Pillar of the Community United States 742 Posts	Posted 05/14/2015 12:23 pm Here are examples of reprints. These are all 2000 cgu notes but the serial number font is wrong on all of them. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Central-Ban...em2350ce1a81 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Banknote-Ch...em2ee1133757 http://www.ebay.com/itm/China-Pick-...em487d9c88d2 Report this Post to the Staff
