[edit] Useful site
This site gives useful information about the currency used in Taiwan in the history. Currency of Spain, Britain and Maxico were all presented in the local market.[1] Some information could be incoporated into the article.Mababa 06:03, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Currencies of Quemoy, Matsu and Tachen
Perhaps some details of the currencies of these islands, namely 金門券, 馬祖券 and 大陳券, can also be included. — Instantnood 15:12, Apr 30, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] currency of the ROC
1. The New Taiwan dollar is now (since 2000) the official currency of the Republic of China. It is used for all ROC statues and is issued by the ROC's central bank. Therefore, it is no longer proper to call it the "currency of Taiwan" only. Equating the ROC with Taiwan is POV that is opposed by the PRC and Chinese reunificationists in Taiwan. Current wikipedia naming conventions (as cited in the edit summary) does not permit the use of Taiwan in place of the ROC when the latter is more accurate. Here, it is more accurate. The NTD is used in Kinmen and Matsu, which are neither part of Taiwan province nor Taiwan island.
2. July should not be wikified. It is a useless link.
3. The 100 TWD is no longer widely accepted as legal tender in Taiwan. I accidently tried to use one on the street and had it returned to me. As such, it belongs in the historical section, not the section on current currency. --Jiang 17:56, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
- Jiang, I have to say 100TWD is still legal. Even 50c is legal. However, I agree with you on ROC doesn't equal to Taiwan. Until there is a nation called Taiwan, we should still use ROC in the formal term. Bobbybuilder 04:41, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
It's still worth what it claims, but it isn't widely accepted and in circulation. it's therefore historical. --Jiang 04:53, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
- According to the Central Bank website: "The note will remain in circulation until 30 June 2002. All branches of the Bank of Taiwan redeem the NT$100 note after 30 June 2002." I've updated the caption accordingly, and have also added the information that the note was first issued 13 February 1988. Thomas Blomberg 15:13, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
The 100NT$ note is still VERY commonly used. The 200NT$ banknote is also still in circulation, but is not so commonly used. Ludahai 02:10, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Legal tender or not
I'm a citizen and I'm a banknote collector so I know. Banknote issued after 1999 (including) (100, 200, 500, 1000, 2000 Y, including the latest revision of 500 and 100 Yuan in 2005, and the commemorative 50 Yuan in 1999) are legal tender. All older banknotes are not legal tender but is entitled to redeption at Bank of Taiwan.

[edit] Images
I like the images of the banknotes, but shouldn't the owner of those images add the lettering "SPECIMEN" overprint on both sides? This is to prevent some photocopy counterfeiters. There are some users in this online community who are not honest people. Heilme 23:59, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
- I know there's the Chinese word for SPECIMEN overprinted already. How about the English SPECIMEN? Heilme 00:01, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
