The 200 yuan denomination was introduced in 2001 partly to ease transactions at a value that had long fallen awkwardly between the 100 and 500 yuan notes. Taiwan's Central Engraving and Printing Plant has produced the Republic of China's currency continuously since relocating from the mainland in 1949 — one of the few institutions that made the crossing intact and kept operating without interruption.
The 200 yuan has never fully embedded itself in daily commerce; merchants and the public alike showed persistent indifference to the denomination, and it circulates far less than its face value might suggest.
