The Customs Gold Unit was not a general-circulation currency but an accounting denomination created specifically to collect maritime customs duties, insulating tariff revenue from the chronic depreciation of the silver tael. By 1930, silver exchange rates had become volatile enough that the Nationalist government needed a stable unit tied to gold parity — the CGU was that fix, set at US$0.40.
American Bank Note Company produced the series at their Manhattan facility, as they had for much of Republican China's high-value paper. The CGU notes were always more instrument than currency — handled by banks and trading houses, rarely by individuals.
