新版一百元人民幣紙幣將於明天面世

A new 100-yuan bank note will be released by the central bank on Thursday, Xinhua reported.

據新華社報道，央行將在週四發行新版100元紙幣。

Part of the fifth set of bank notes introduced by the People's Bank of China (PBOC) in 1999, the 100-yuan bank note was last changed in 2005.

現行紙幣屬於央行1999年發行的第五套人民幣，其中在2005進行過一次升級。

The design will stay largely the same as the 2005 series, but the new bank notes are harder to counterfeit and easier for machines to read, Shang Zhiyu from Currency Gold and Silver Bureau under PBOC explained.

央行下屬的貨幣金銀管理局的商治宇表示，新版紙幣設計大小與2005款一致，但是新版紙幣更加難以利用機器仿造。

Shao Guowei, chief technology officer of China Banknote Printing and Minting Corporation, said the note's enhanced security features, including optical-variable security thread and value numeral, allow the public to easily identify fake equivalents.

中國印鈔造幣總工程師邵國偉說到，新版紙幣增強的安全特效包括視覺變化安全線和麪值，能夠讓羣衆更容易地辨認出假幣。

The old version of the 100-yuan note will stay in circulation, the PBOC added. The 100-yuan note is the largest denomination of the Chinese currency.

央行還表示，舊版100元紙幣將會回收利用。100元紙幣是中國面值最大的流通貨幣。
