Banco da China's entry into Macau's banknote-issuing rotation is itself a political story. The bank was granted note-issuing authority in 1995, making it the third institution authorized to circulate patacas alongside Banco Nacional Ultramarino and Banco Weng Hang — a deliberate move by Beijing to establish a Chinese state-owned presence in the territory's currency supply well before the 1999 handover.
By 2020, all three issuers were printing through China Banknote Printing and Minting Corporation, which consolidated production from the foreign printers previously used for some series.
