The Customs Gold Unit was a specialized denomination introduced by the Central Bank of China in 1946 to collect import duties, replacing the increasingly worthless Fabi at a fixed rate. By 1947, when this 2000 CGU note was printed, the system was already buckling — hyperinflation had eroded the Fabi so severely that even customs accounting required denominations that would have seemed absurd two years earlier.
The CGU series was short-lived. Nationalist fiscal collapse made the denomination obsolete within a year of issue, and many high-denomination notes were never meaningfully circulated before the currency was abandoned entirely.
