context_page_description: The Zhuangpiao, alternatively known as Yinqianpiao, Huipiao, Pingtie, Duitie, Shangtie, Hupingtie, or Qitie in different contexts, refer to privately produced paper money made in China during the Qing dynasty and early Republic of China periods issued by small private banks known as qianzhuang. Other than banknotes qianzhuang also issued Tiexian.
  A qianzhuang would issue a zhuangpiao after receiving a deposit and these notes could generally also be cashed in at other qianzhuang after they were confirmed to be genuine specimens by checking the banknote seals. zhuangpiao served as de facto banknotes in China during periods when the government had long stopped issuing them and were an alternative currency when government banknotes such as the Da-Qing Baochao and Hubu Guanpiao were later introduced and abolished.
  Early zhuangpiao were generally denominated either cash coins represented by the currency unit of wén, or in the tael silver weight unit. Later zhuangpiao would also feature denominations such as the yuan which was based on round silver coins.
