A new 100-yuan bank note will be released by the central bank on Thursday, Xinhua reported.
据新华社报道,央行将在周四发行新版100元纸币。
Part of the fifth set of bank notes introduced by the People's Bank of China (PBOC) in 1999, the 100-yuan bank note was last changed in 2005.
现行纸币属于央行1999年发行的第五套人民币,其中在2005进行过一次升级。
The design will stay largely the same as the 2005 series, but the new bank notes are harder to counterfeit and easier for machines to read, Shang Zhiyu from Currency Gold and Silver Bureau under PBOC explained.
央行下属的货币金银管理局的商治宇表示,新版纸币设计大小与2005款一致,但是新版纸币更加难以利用机器仿造。
Shao Guowei, chief technology officer of China Banknote Printing and Minting Corporation, said the note's enhanced security features, including optical-variable security thread and value numeral, allow the public to easily identify fake equivalents.
中国印钞造币总工程师邵国伟说到,新版纸币增强的安全特效包括视觉变化安全线和面值,能够让群众更容易地辨认出假币。
The old version of the 100-yuan note will stay in circulation, the PBOC added. The 100-yuan note is the largest denomination of the Chinese currency.
央行还表示,旧版100元纸币将会回收利用。100元纸币是中国面值最大的流通货币。
