This denomination was much larger than needed for daily use, equivalent to nearly three months pay for the average laborer. Large quantities of the notes were redeemed as the economy struggled over the decades following its issue.

令人讚嘆的中國人民銀行拾圓
1953年中國人民銀行拾圓(大黑拾)。 我們相信沒有一張鈔票能比「大黑拾」更能體現中國的現代史。此鈔採用大尺寸設計，印有農民夫婦像，象徵了1940-1960年代中國尚未躍身世界大國之列的鬥爭時期。此面額比日常使用所需的面額大得多，在發行的時期，幾乎相當於一個工人三個月的工資。此鈔於後來的數十年因中國經濟出現混亂而被大幅度贖回，加上當時保存的困難，現存的同款品相通常一般，很少見像這一張的高評分。
