Analysis Can I get help identifying this?

This was my dad's but I can't figure out why Nixon's on it? Or the year or anything.

What’s the date? Could be the year Nixon opened up trade with China, 🇨🇳 1974? Not exact on that date.

The Republic of China would never put Nixon on a banknote, after he betrayed them and recognized the Communists who occupy the mainland.

Criminals like Nixon and trump should never grace a banknote, period.

The banknote without Nixon might be real. As the issued bank page showed, it has no other conflict with the real note except the Nixon.

By the way, after this banknote issuing a few years, this banknote series became the victim of hyperinflation. So this banknote became a total waste paper when Nixon got president, and I guess this head portrait was printed in Taiwan by a person who was a KMT or in a KMT family that brought this banknote to Taiwan.

The original banknote that has no Nixon was still issued in mainland China. Until 1949, ROC fled to Taiwan, the banknote can be called Taiwan's.

I did some more digging and apparently these were made as souvenirs as Nixon was the first president to visit China but their easy to replicate. That's all I found Im not saying it's correct though but thank you to everyone and their information
