Definitely fake. I bought the 60 note set mentioned by Roland, knowing that they were fake. I paid about $6 or 10 cents per note. I bought a customizable stamp set and marked every one “forgery by Chinese criminals” so that my son, when he inherits the collection, know that they are bogus. They are in my China (PRC) album. On eBay some USA sellers are auctioning these as real or at least not declaring them to be forgeries. A clue to know if it is a scam is that the selling price does not in any way reflect the very high catalog value of a real note. The sellers market them at a low price to get rid of them.
I have about 90 forgeries in my collection, mostly Chinese made. I decided to add them, all properly marked my me as “forgeries” to the collection as a personal interest.
