The 2005 fifth series 5 Yuan was introduced as a replacement for the polymer 5 Yuan note of 2002 — China's brief experiment with polymer substrate had proven unpopular in production terms, and the decision to revert to paper for this denomination was quietly made without public announcement. The watermark security on this issue is relatively minimal compared to higher denominations in the same series, a deliberate cost-calibration for a note expected to endure heavy everyday circulation.
