doraemon Posted August 14, 2010 at 10:23 PM Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 at 10:23 PM If it's Faln Gong currency, I'm not even sure if it'll work in China. But it is the first one I've actually seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roddy Posted August 15, 2010 at 12:55 AM Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 at 12:55 AM It's real money, they've just stamped / printed their message on it and put it into circulation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renzhe Posted August 15, 2010 at 01:22 AM Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 at 01:22 AM Keep it as a souvenir. You were probably given it because they thought you wouldn't be able to tell to difference. Paying with such money is probably illegal, as it might count as disseminating FG materials.

doraemon Posted August 15, 2010 at 01:44 AM Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 at 01:44 AM No need to quote the entire post directly above you That's a good point. It's most likely illegal so don't ever use it to pay for something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted August 15, 2010 at 01:59 AM Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 at 01:59 AM Hardly. Yes it's probably illegal, but the chance of some random store clerk calling the police about someone using these notes is zero. I've seen people be asked to swop it for another one, that's all. Hand it over with a bunch of change and chances are it won't be noticed anyway. By all means chuck it away if you are worried though, it's only 1Y. Or you might want to keep it as an odd souvenir.

andelicek.andy Posted August 15, 2010 at 05:39 PM Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 at 05:39 PM of course i will keep it!!! few years later maybe sell it for milions & become a milionaire lol btw. if i would try to use it and some chinese call police, its simple - i am 老外 so i can pretend i am idiot, lose face & they ll let me go... otherwise - by accident i almost used it on a bus! (best place to get rid off ugly/false 1Y money ^__~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted October 12, 2010 at 03:15 AM Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 at 03:15 AM Thought I'd add this one to the collection - obviously done on a budget, hand-printed on a five mao note. Not seen that before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarevok Posted October 12, 2010 at 05:27 AM Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 at 05:27 AM Also got one FG 1Y recently, but got rid of it as I didn't have any 零钱 for the bus... BTW, as of today, Chinese Forums gets blocked for a few minutes after trying to visit this particular topic, must be the title (maybe they are really tightening the censorship these days, as gato pointed out in another topic) I had to jump across the GFW for a while, in order to be able to post this...
