A leading banknote and coin expert has denied a figure of a group of kittens appears in the new 100 yuan bill after a number of people claimed to have spotted the furry pets hidden in the banknote.

Internet users claim they found the figure of three kittens in the new fifth series of the banknote after close inspection under a magnifying glass, The Beijing News reported.

They claim two kittens appear opposite each other kneeling down with another in the center gazing with its mouth open

But Yuan Yinlong, a banknote and coin expert in Central China's Henan province, said the figures are just the work of the imagination of Internet users.

"Internet users purposely highlighted the lines to form the animal-like figure," he said.

Yuan also said the design of Chinese currency banknotes adopt advanced anti-forgery technology that is a state secret. The figures in the banknote seem to combine traditional elements and modern cartoon patterns.

What he should have said is "there are no kittens, but if anyone likes to see them there, fine. We have nothing against kittens." Who cares what the state wants you to think?

Typical of capitalist running dogs to see kittens. It appeals to their aggressive instincts.

How about fake Yuan notes dispensed by ATM  , the report is fully fictitious -----------
kitten , security features and all .

However fact is entierly opposite regarding fakes yuan in circulation one can search google but this security features of 3 kittens never highlighted by any of the banks .

In real 100 yuan notes it is visible clearly such graphics of kitten like creature but not officially claimed by any banks.

Cheers

This strange drawing was found by someone at the modern Chinese 100 yuan note. Looks like a cat with two worshiping creatures at both sides.

The other two creatures are cats too.
