These are authentic Chinese (People's Republic of China) standard circulation banknotes. There are a total of 3 denominations included that being the One, Two, & Five Fen banknotes all of which are rare. These notes were issued beginning in 1953 as part of the Chinese Yuan Renminbi series. They were withdrawn from circulation beginning 1 Jul 2003 after which they were demonetized in April 2007. The currency is therefore obsolete and no longer legal tender.
