The already famous "Bird's Nest" is presented against the background of the silhouette of the Temple of Heaven, and above it is the logo of the 2008 Olympics "Chinese seal - Dancing Beijing".
The reverse side of the banknote depicts Miron's "Discobolus", figures of modern athletes and large Arabic numerals "2008".
Starting from last Tuesday, 6 million similar banknotes will be put into circulation.
It should be noted that Mao began to be present on every Chinese banknote only since 1999, when the 50th anniversary of the PRC was celebrated. However, 100 yuan with his portrait appeared 14 years after his death - in 1990.
In past years, there were calls to replace the portrait of the Chairman with some other images, for example, those of Deng Xiaoping and Sun Yat-sen, but they did not receive widespread support.
In the meantime, it seems that the 2008 Games in Beijing could be another Olympics that hindered the construction of communism.
