According to the announcement of the central bank on August 10, the fifth set of RMB 100 banknotes on August 20 1 12 will be issued. The central bank explained that the reason for issuing new coins is "to improve the public's ability to identify cash and reduce criminals' counterfeiting of cash".

However, the issuance of new coins has also caused some controversy, fearing that increasing the money supply will push up inflation. In this regard, Zhu Ning 1 1, deputy dean of Shanghai Institute of Advanced Finance of Shanghai Jiaotong University and professor of finance, said in an interview with People's Daily that "there will be no obvious increment, and the newly added currency will be replaced, which will not directly cause additional money supply. Moreover, the proportion of cash input (M0) in the total money supply (M2) is very small, which has no particularly great influence and will not be closely related. "
