The renminbi is the largest share of China's currency and plays an indispensable role in society.
But have you ever wondered how much it costs to manufacture a piece of RMB?
People often say that a renminbi is only worth 0.01 yuan, is this true?
Why do people say that?
So what kind of secrets are hidden in the renminbi?
Let's reveal them one by one.
How much does it cost to manufacture in RMB?
People know that the essence of money is a kind of paper, and this paper is printed paper, and money is printed using printed paper.
When it comes to the printing of money, it's a mysterious process, and it's a complicated process.
Therefore, at present, the printing of currency can only be carried out after it has been approved by someone from the State Council.
The printing cost of the renminbi is also not very high.
According to the bank, the printing cost of a 100-yuan bill is 0.23 yuan, while the manufacturing cost of a 5-yuan note is 0.02 yuan.
The manufacturing cost of a 1 yuan note is also 0.0167 yuan.
So how much does it cost to print a piece of RMB?
According to the national average, the printing cost of a 500 yuan banknote is 0.12 yuan, the printing cost of a 100 yuan banknote is 0.072 yuan, the printing cost of a 50 yuan banknote is 0.048 yuan, the printing cost of a 10 yuan banknote is only 0.024 yuan, and the printing cost of a 5 yuan banknote is only 0.012 yuan.
These numbers don't seem like much to us on the surface.
It doesn't seem like a lot, but if you add it up to each person, the end result is still very amazing.
In 2014, according to the published data, the total amount of banknotes produced in the country was about 17.74 billion yuan.
So calculated in this way, the printing cost of RMB is 3.26 billion yuan.
However, if you want to apply it in practice, due to the quality and quantity of currency printing, the cost of currency printing is very high, which is more than people think.
According to the situation at that time, the fixed price of currency printing was 3705.24 yuan, and now the price of currency printing has become very expensive, and the printing cost of a 100-yuan banknote is 0.23 yuan.
However, the fixed price of currency printing is also determined by the quality and quantity of printing.
The value of the RMB.
Money is valuable, and the renminbi is no exception.
But one thing is very obvious, that is, the number of RMB printed by us is very large, so when we hold RMB, it is also very worthless.
Why do people have such a common view?
In fact, it is because the number of currency prints is very large.
According to the data released by the state, the amount of banknotes printed by the state is very large.
Not only is the number of banknotes printed, but also the number of coins printed.
In the case of coins, for example, the number of prints is staggering.
Therefore, the annual cost of printing coins in the state has reached 300 million.
This price is also very expensive, why do people say that the value of the yuan is only 0.01 yuan?
It's because the reasons for this are very complex.
The year 2005 was a crucial moment for the mainland to open up to the outside world, and the mainland officially joined the WTO.
After joining the WTO, there were both advantages and disadvantages for the mainland, and it was a challenge for the currency at that time.
However, for the currencies of other countries, this is the real crisis.
After China's accession to the WTO, the mainland's monetary system has also undergone great changes, that is, the value of the currency has increased.
At this time, the price of the renminbi in the mainland was very high, and the price of one yuan was equivalent to 1.53 US dollars at that time.
Therefore, the value of the currency in the country is also very expensive, but the mainland is also an economic power, so the currency value of the mainland is of course very high.
However, the high value of the mainland's currency was very unfavorable to trade at that time, so the mainland had to reform the renminbi to stabilize the renminbi.
Then in 2005, the mainland lowered the value of the renminbi from $1.53 to $0.84.
This is a difficult decision for the mainland, but there are pros and cons to it.
What is advantageous is that the mainland's trade has become more favorable, and at the same time, the mainland's economic development is also very fast.
But in this context, the renminbi is also worthless, which is why many people say that the renminbi is only worth 0.01 yuan.
But on the other hand, there is an implicit message in this context that people can't hear.
In fact, the renminbi also has its own value.
So where is the value of the RMB?
The value of the RMB.
The value of the renminbi is much higher than we think, and some people say that the value of the renminbi is very high, but people don't know it.
People don't see, and all people know, is that the renminbi is only worth 0.01 yuan.
However, there are many places where the RMB has value, and it is also something that many people do not see.
In people's eyes, people only see that the yuan is written on the yuan one yuan, 5 jiao, 1 jiao, 5 cents, 1 cent, 5 cents, 1 cent, 1 cent, 10 yuan, 20 yuan, 50 yuan, 100 yuan, 200 yuan, 500 yuan, 1000 yuan, but this is only a superficial number.
Under the promulgation of the State Council, the value of the renminbi is not visible to us.
There's a lot of information hidden in that.
On the printing of RMB, there are also a lot of anti-counterfeiting marks, as long as the state releases the price of its printing standards, it shows that the value of RMB is very high.
The value of the renminbi is very expensive and is determined by many criteria.
The renminbi is also known as "three pieces of paper and one cloth".
Among them, the "three papers" are banknote printing paper, special paper, and coin paper, and the cloth is the serial number cloth.
The first is serial number cloth, which is mainly printed on the banknotes of the renminbi.
In fact, this printing method is also very old, with a history of nearly 1,000 years.
This also shows that people are also very particular about the process of using coins.
And the banknotes made of this cloth are also very charming.
This kind of cloth also has the function of distinguishing authenticity and anti-counterfeiting.
The second is banknote printing paper, which is printed on one side of the banknote, and this printing paper is also very beautiful.
In fact, the history of printing paper is also relatively long, with a history of thousands of years, printing paper is a material for banknotes, it is made of cotton and linen mixture.
The fibers of this paper are very slender and have high toughness, and the printing paper also has good ink absorption.
Therefore, the texture of the printed banknotes is very good.
The third type is coin paper, which has a very special texture, it is made of a mixture of slag and resin.
The texture of this paper is very hard, so it is mainly used to print money.
The texture of this paper is very hard, so it is mainly used to print coins.
epilogue
In people's eyes, the value of the renminbi is only 0.01 yuan.
But the price of the renminbi is very valuable, it is very expensive to print the standard and publish it.
So we have to cherish every piece of RMB.
