I've written up a nice page full of the history of early Chinese banknotes and how to tell fakes from real ones. It has a nice section on Communist Chinese Banknotes, Japanese occupied territories, and Nationalist banknotes. http://www.edepot.com/banknotes.html I hope it helps people who do not know much about Chinese banknotes so they can get started on collecting them.
