Collector's Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ): First Series Renminbi Collection and Monetization

Q1: If an old banknote has yellowed or developed spots after being stored for a long time, can it still be recycled at a high price? A: Yes, it can.

As long as the banknote's pattern is intact and it has not been artificially washed or treated with chemicals (original note), it still has high old Renminbi recycling value. Avoid cleaning it yourself, as this may damage the original patina and cause its value to plummet.
