After 10, I don't understand cash. Do you want to continue collecting paper money?

In fact, many people have raised similar questions in recent years, so I first advised the subject not to worry. Because in a short period of 10 years, people will not be so forgetful, even the used cash will be forgotten so quickly, or even unknown.

Second, from primitive shells to gold and silver, to metal coins such as copper and iron, to bank notes, and to commemorative coins of banknotes and coins still in use, they have always withdrawn from circulation with the development of history, but they have never been forgotten.

Third, if you are a coin collector, even if the central bank officially launched the "digital currency", as long as the real coin still exists, someone will continue to collect it, because so many things that have been collected for hundreds of years are still being collected, and the price is still very high. Isn't this proof?

Fourthly, from the above reasons, as long as you really like collecting, you should continue to collect. At least you don't collect, but there are certainly many people who collect.

In short, this worry of the subject is completely unnecessary. In the next step, the central bank will gradually replace paper money and coins with digital currency, just as copper coins replaced gold and silver coins in the past. This is the inevitable development of the times and technology, but collection is also inevitable. Any currency that has withdrawn from circulation is still being collected. There are many out of circulation, such as food stamps, foreign exchange certificates and treasury bills. Isn't that what it is? I hope my answer can give you some enlightenment and help.

In the future, cash payment methods will definitely decrease, and it is hard to say whether it will perish. It may affect the receipt of banknotes to a certain extent, but the receipt of banknotes can still continue! Why do you say that? China's square hole money has been circulated in ancient times for more than one thousand years, but it has not been used for one hundred years. Modern people are still collecting and studying it. Cultural inheritance is hard to give up, so is the future collection of banknotes. Moreover, the paper money printed by any country represents the highest printing level and papermaking level in this country, and it is also the embodiment of this country's comprehensive national strength.

After 10, the topic should refer to people born after 20 10, that is, children less than 10.

Nowadays, with the widespread use of WeChat and Alipay, as well as the wide application of artificial intelligence and face recognition technology, people have fewer and fewer opportunities to use cash. When they are away from home, they can complete the transaction payment with or without a mobile phone. It is normal for children born after 10 not to understand cash, but it is not absolute. Even if they don't know about cash, the collection of paper money will continue. The reason for this is the following:

First, the need to continue the history and culture:

In primitive society, people didn't have an intermediary currency for commodity exchange, but with the development of social productive forces, shells were first used as the intermediary of commodity exchange, which was the earliest prototype of China currency. With the development of society and the progress of science and technology, in the Northern Song Dynasty, a form of paper money called Jiaozi appeared in Sichuan, which was the earliest paper money form in the world. As a China person, I was deeply impressed by its historical value.

As a post-60s, I have experienced three sets, four sets and five sets of RMB circulation. Although the first two sets have been out of circulation and entered the field of collection, I still feel very cordial when I see them occasionally, which often reminds me of my past lives. This is its cultural value.

Second, the needs of their own collection value:

Collection comes from liking, and liking comes from the spiritual support given by people's travel genes and cultural inheritance. With the passage of time, fewer and fewer banknotes can be completely preserved. According to the market law that things are rare, collecting paper money has the function of preserving and increasing value. For example, the market price of the first set of New China is several million now, but people under 50 have never used it and don't know about it, and many people are still flocking to it, which has not affected its collection value.

In a word, the collection value of paper money lies in its internal cultural carrier and historical inheritance given by time, which has nothing to do with whether individuals use it or not. Knowing this, do you think the collection of banknotes will continue?

Collection is also a kind of culture, which not only enriches knowledge but also makes money.

1. The value of RMB has the function of artistic appreciation. Whether it is RMB metal coins or RMB paper money; Whether it's ordinary RMB or commemorative RMB, besides the representative national figures, there are also famous mountains and rivers, scenic spots, national flowers and famous flowers, or traditional national patterns in China. These artistic patterns have been repeatedly pondered and carefully designed by famous artists, and they are all exquisite works of art with high artistic value and appreciation value.

2. RMB has the function of popularizing knowledge and education. From RMB, we can learn a lot about politics, economy, history, culture, art, science and technology. Through this knowledge, people can get all kinds of education. We can understand the party's line, principles and policies in different periods in China from the figures of RMB. For example, the front pattern of the third set of RMB 1 corner coupons reflects the party's educational policy-"combining education with productive labor"; The fourth set of RMB reflects the glorious image of the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries through different characters, indicating that China is a unified multi-ethnic country, and the cause of socialist construction must rely on workers, peasants and intellectuals to unite all forces that can be United. From the famous mountains and rivers, scenic spots and historical sites in RMB, we can learn about China's beautiful mountains and rivers and quaint national characteristics, thus inspiring people's enthusiasm for loving and building the motherland. From the patterns of flower decoration in RMB, we can learn about China's long-standing traditional famous flowers and ethnic traditional decorations, such as peony, plum blossom and chrysanthemum in the third set of RMB, phoenix peony, crane pine, bird bamboo and swallow peach blossom in the fourth set of RMB, which are all traditional cultures that China needs to inherit and carry forward.

From the patterns of ships, trains, cars, airplanes, harvesters, bridges and hydropower stations on RMB, we can know the industrial and agricultural production and transportation in different periods in China, and these patterns also reflect the achievements of socialist construction in different periods in China. There are not only the exquisite artistic designs mentioned above on the RMB, but also the national emblem printed on the front of the RMB as the legal tender in China (the first set of RMB was not printed when it was born, because there were designs), which is a symbol of China's strength, shows the legal status of the RMB and always arouses people's patriotic consciousness. In addition, from the aspects of RMB material and printing, we can also learn about watermarking, ink and printing technology. In short, a small RMB is a big world of knowledge. The circulation of RMB in the whole country determines that it is an extremely special propaganda material, which is unmatched by any kind of propaganda media. Therefore, the knowledge popularization and educational function of RMB should not be underestimated.

3. RMB has the functions of historical materials and cultural relics. The birth of each set of RMB is closely related to politics, economy, culture, art and technology at that time. The design of RMB face pattern reflects the social and economic situation and political outlook at that time, and its printing quality reflects the printing technology and technology level at that time. Therefore, the political, economic and historical background at that time can be understood from the face value of RMB that was born and circulated in different periods. For example, the characteristics of the first set of RMB tickets, such as variety, miscellaneous layout, large denomination, inconsistent design ideas, diverse printing techniques and uneven product quality, can all reflect the wartime nature of their birth; The main scenes of transportation, agriculture, machinery and steel industry on the third set of RMB banknotes, which was born in the 1960s and 1970s, can reflect the new situation and new scientific and technological achievements of socialist construction under the guidance of the Party's general line of socialist construction at that time. From the ticket face, wearing a straw hat, carrying hoes and picking baskets (1962 edition 1 corner coupons) were the standard images of farmers at that time; Tractors (1960 1 yuan coupon front), loaders (1960 5 yuan coupon back) and machine tools (1960 2 yuan coupon front) were the symbols of material civilization at that time. Derricks (the back of 1960 2 yuan coupons) and bridges (the front of 1962 20-corner coupons) were the leading products of modernization at that time. Through these RMB objects, we can understand the social and economic conditions and customs at that time, which is a rare material for studying social and historical development.

4. RMB has the function of maintaining and increasing value. With the continuous growth of the RMB collection team, fewer and fewer RMB and limited metal circulation commemorative coins have withdrawn from the circulation field. Due to the law of value, the value of these RMB has soared, and with the passage of time, the value-added potential is increasing. For example, the market collection value of the first and second sets of RMB and metal circulation commemorative coins has exceeded its face value several times, sometimes even hundreds of times, and even the third set of RMB, which is about to withdraw from circulation, has increased several times or even dozens of times. Therefore, as a collection object, RMB has obvious function of maintaining and increasing value.

In short, with the improvement of people's material living standards, people's spiritual and cultural life will be more colorful, and a new wave of popular RMB collection will surely hit by going up one flight of stairs. The artistry, knowledge, historical materials and entertainment of RMB will surely play its unique role in the cultural life of the people throughout the country.

Still want it! I wish I had some in my hand to show to future people!

Although cash is used less now, it is good to keep some as a souvenir.
