In the Jinan/Taihang jurisdiction, compulsory Jinan-denominated trade and public accounts displaced fabi use. The1942 rule required fabi conversion into Jinan before local dealings. This is scoped local replacement, not all-China succession or an assertion that every old debt was uniformly converted.

Inference C1139
Mongolia’s togrog displaced Chinese yanchaan in budgets, accounts, prices and domestic transactions by 1927. The predecessor is scoped to this local accounting use; its exact Chinese currency identity remains qualified.
Corrected interpretation: Revision 27 supplies a new evidence basis for R-V22-037. Exact Chinese identity of scoped yanchaan parent is a root uncertainty; it does not weaken the explicitly described local account transition. Replacement evidence: C1615.

The Nanjing provisional government military public loan was denominated as100million yuan in 1912, with subscriptions and sale handled by Bank of China. This establishes early Republican yuan obligations within the existing mainland yuan continuity profile; it does not establish a new unit or nationwide exclusive use.

The promulgated National Currency Law named yuan as national unit; its regulations prescribed converting tael public accounts and private debts/contracts to yuan. This is explicit legal account-unit recognition. Regional enforcement required subsequent orders, so nationwide accomplished conversion is not asserted.

The mainland Republican yuan is a supported account-unit identity: yuan public debt is documented in 1912, and the1914 law expressly defines yuan accounting for public receipts/expenditure and private obligations. Preserve existing supported reform-continuity claims C110/C111. The former Mongolian yanchaan association claim C1139 addresses identification of a geographically scoped1925–1927 usage, not existence or identity of the mainland Republican yuan itself. Keep C1139 on its local observation and in retained claim history, but remove it from the global identity_claim_ids governing all mainland yuan paths. This does not upgrade the uncertain Mongolian association or establish nationwide1914 implementation.
