| Opmerkingen |
The Bank of China's 1940 series was produced by the American Bank Note Company at a moment when the Nationalist government's access to foreign printing facilities was becoming strategically critical. With Japanese forces controlling much of coastal China, having currency printed in New York — well beyond any possible interdiction — gave the Chongqing government reliable access to professionally engraved, difficult-to-counterfeit paper money.
Japanese military authorities ran sophisticated counterfeiting operations throughout the occupation, targeting exactly this kind of circulating Nationalist currency to destabilize the wartime economy. ABNCo's intaglio work was a deliberate countermeasure.
