In 1948. in an effort to stabilise the currency, the Chinese government announced the issue of a 
new form of currency, called the Gold Yuan Certificate. This measure was necessary because the 
people had lost all confidence in the old currency, called the Fa Bi. Inflation had escalated to the 
point where one US dollar was worth 11 million Fa Bi Official announcements called for all 
Chinese to turn in their old banknotes, their gold and silver and their foreign currency. Gold Yuan 
Certificates would be given in exchange, supposedly backed by gold and each worth four to one 
American dollar. Immediately there was a gold rush, as most private depositors withdrew their 
precious metals and foreign currency from local banks, because no one with common sense 
believed that there was any gold to back those certificates.
