First of all, it's hard to tell true from false. Although the circulation of space banknotes is huge, many people have not actually seen what space banknotes look like. If they don't know, they may think you gave it to her. Even if the aunt who sells vegetables has seen and knows the space banknotes, she can't be sure of the authenticity of the space banknotes. The most widely circulated RMB often receives counterfeit money, not to mention the space banknotes with a small circulation. Few people can tell the truth from the false. It is often reported in the news that some people go to the bank to exchange or save money with space banknotes, and bank employees refuse to tell the truth, let alone an aunt who sells vegetables in the vegetable market.
Second, the currency difference. If the aunt in the vegetable market gets this space banknote back, the collection will appreciate, which is equivalent to earning it. But you know, the total amount of space banknotes issued has reached 300 million. Except for some serial numbers or leopard numbers, other space banknotes have no collection value, because the original price is basically maintained after several years. If inflation is taken into account, it is actually a loss. For the aunt in the vegetable market, it is risky to collect space banknotes of the same value, and there is no additional premium function. Why would she take the risk? Therefore, although many people know that it is illegal to reject space banknotes, they still refuse them because they are unwilling to take risks. After all, selling vegetables by yourself is hard money. 100 yuan of vegetables may be a day's profit. They are just a vegetable seller, not a vegetable collection center.
The third is that there are more and more scams in society. In order to prevent being cheated, many people are actually very defensive. They would rather not do or do things they don't understand, and they don't want their hard-earned money to be cheated.
The main purpose of issuing space banknotes by the central bank is collection, not circulation. In reality, few people take out space money for consumption. If you feel that there is no appreciation value or collection value, you can take it to the bank and change it into RMB. Of course, many banks can't exchange money now, and only some bank outlets designated by the central bank can exchange money. So if you want to change your space banknotes into RMB, you can go to a bank outlet or call for advice. If you only have one or two space bills in your hand, there is no need to exchange them. Although there is not much room for appreciation now, it can be collected as a souvenir. After all, the production of space money is still very beautiful.
To sum up, it is illegal for an aunt in the vegetable market not to accept space banknotes, but we must also understand. After all, people earn hard money, and the recognition and liquidity of space banknotes are not strong, so it is too risky to hold them in your hand. It may be more practical for them to actually collect some RMB.
