After treasury bills and foreign exchange coupons, another novel and unique collection-practice coupons is attracting people's attention. Training vouchers, also known as bank training vouchers, cashier's special paper for counting banknotes, and counting vouchers, etc. Not many people generally know about it, because it has not been published for a long time and its application scope is very narrow, from 1989 to now it is less than 20 years. At the beginning, the purpose of printing training vouchers by banks was only to improve the counting skills of bank staff and corporate cashiers. The paper and paper size of training vouchers are the same as real banknotes, and most of them are printed by banknote printing factories in Shanghai, Shijiazhuang, Xi, Chengdu and Baoding, and their artistic value far exceeds that of ordinary publicity materials. Therefore, it is increasingly favored by collectors. Practice tickets have the following characteristics:

1, rich in variety. As all major banks and local banks in various provinces and cities have issued training vouchers, some banks generally revise them once a year, so the varieties of training vouchers are very rich, and hundreds of them have been found so far. The training ticket is extensive in content and beautifully printed, which is incomparable to other tickets. There are engraving and offset printing versions of training vouchers, most of which are printed with words such as line name, line emblem and factory name, and some are also printed with code, denomination, year, lace, shading and even anti-counterfeiting secrets (there are watermarks such as plum blossom, five stars, line emblem and Tiananmen Square), which have the basic characteristics of real banknotes. There are US dollars, Japanese yen, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars, British pounds, Singapore dollars, Swiss francs, Dutch guilders, etc. 1 1 kinds of banknotes. The face patterns of "foreign currency coupons" issued by China's banking system are mostly printed according to the real currency patterns, which helps people to be familiar with and understand some foreign currencies.

2. The coupons are exquisite. The design of the training ticket is novel and unique, and the face color is rich, including places of interest, modern buildings, factories and mines, people, animals and various means of transportation. For example, rural credit cooperatives in Jingzhou area count paper, with male and female heads and phoenix patterns printed on the front and rock scenery printed on the back. Many training vouchers are also printed with the office buildings of bank head offices, provincial branches, city and county branches, and some are also printed with galloping horses and sailing fleets. For example, the full set of training vouchers of ICBC Sichuan Branch are printed with four scenic spots, namely Shudu Building, Wangjiang Building, Baoding, Fulongguan, Shaoling Caotang and Wanshou. The denomination of consumer vouchers issued by China Construction Bank ranges from 1 to 100 yuan, and there are three kinds of vouchers. Cars, station wagons, jeeps, welcoming pines, Summer Palace Zhou Shi, Temple of Heaven, Beijing West Railway Station, Beijing Tianning Temple Overpass, Gezhouba, Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, Shenzhen Special Economic Zone and China Construction Bank Building are printed on the ticket. It can be seen that although the practice ticket is small, it is all-encompassing and artistic.

3, the existence is small. Practice tickets are not banknotes, but banknotes. Based on the actual needs, it is only used by our staff for practice or competition, so the printing quantity of various varieties is small, the distribution area is narrow, and even fewer people flow to the society. As far as the varieties collected by Tibetan friends around the country are concerned, they can be roughly divided into three types: one is printed by major financial institutions, and most of the coupons are printed with bank names, badges and distinctive signs or characters different from other financial institutions, which Tibetan friends call "universal coupons"; The other is called "Local Voucher", which is printed by the provincial (city) branches of various financial institutions. The words "China XX Bank Branch" are printed on the face of the voucher, and some of them are also printed with eye-catching words or patterns such as the emblem; There is also a training voucher, which is only printed with patterns or words such as "some money special paper" and "training special paper". It is difficult to judge its users from the face of the coupon, so people generally call it "industry coupon"

4. The price is moderate. Among the above three types of training vouchers, "general vouchers" and "industry vouchers" are relatively easy to collect, while "local vouchers" are more valuable to collect because of their limited use and difficulty in collecting. In the collection market, generally, low-denomination "universal coupons" and "industry coupons" are sold at a lower price, each of which is only 0.5 to 1 yuan. The local price of "local coupons" in various provinces and cities is similar to that of "universal coupons", but the price can be doubled in other places. Some pre-printed training vouchers are more expensive because of the small inventory. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, in short, the training vouchers in Tibetan cities are moderately priced and have certain investment value, which deserves the attention of coin collectors and collectors.
