   Qingming Festival, as a traditional festival of the Chinese nation, has a folk custom of burning paper money for old people to express their grief. However, the procuratorial organ of Xuancheng City, Anhui Province, found in the process of performing the function of public interest litigation according to law that there was an act of selling and using RMB style ghost coins in various stores of sacrificial articles, which damaged the seriousness of RMB as the legal currency of the country, and led to the violation of the national and social public interests.  

   For this reason, the Xuancheng People's Procuratorate made a decision to centrally handle administrative public interest litigation cases in this field. The procuratorial organs in various regions were moved by the order, and the bank, industry and commerce, civil affairs and other departments went deep into the market to carry out investigation.  

   It was found that the nether coins sold by some merchants were very similar to the third and fourth sets of RMB currently in circulation, and were printed with the Great Hall of the People, Potala Palace, the National Emblem and other RMB patterns. This behavior has violated the Regulations on the Administration of RMB and the Measures for the Administration of the Use of RMB Patterns, and has greatly damaged the authority of RMB.  

   In response to the above behaviors, the procurators of Guangde, Xuanzhou, Ningguo and Langxi have so far given full play to their public interest litigation functions, issued procuratorial suggestions to the market supervision department and the RMB management department in a timely manner, urged relevant units to perform their duties according to law, investigated and dealt with illegal acts in a timely manner, and created a social atmosphere of cultural sacrifice.
