On January 27, 1906, pataca notes in denominations of 1, 5, 50 and 100 were introduced and all foreign coinage was outlawed, the idea being to make the pataca paper notes the sole legal tender currency in Macau. However, the Chinese, being so accustomed to using silver for barter, were suspicious of this new paper money, and as such, the paper pataca always circulated at a discount in relation to the silver dollar coins. <sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

In 1952, bronze 5 and 10 avos, cupro-nickel 50 avos and .720 fineness silver 1 and 5 patacas were introduced. Nickel-brass replaced bronze in 1967, including the last issue of 5 avos. Nickel replaced silver in the 1 pataca in 1968. In 1971, a final (.650 fineness) silver issue of 5 patacas was produced. </p> <ul class="gallery mw-gallery-traditional center"> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 155px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 150px; height: 150px;"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:10_Avos_1968_Macao.jpg" class="mw-file-description" title="10 Avos, 1968"><img alt="10 Avos, 1968" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/91/10_Avos_1968_Macao.jpg/120px-10_Avos_1968_Macao.jpg" decoding="async" width="120" height="61" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/91/10_Avos_1968_Macao.jpg/180px-10_Avos_1968_Macao.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/91/10_Avos_1968_Macao.jpg/240px-10_Avos_1968_Macao.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1724" data-file-height="874" /></a></span></div> <div class="gallerytext">10 Avos, 1968</div> </li> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 155px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 150px; height: 150px;"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:50_Avos_1978_Macao.jpg" class="mw-file-description" title="50 Avos, 1978"><img alt="50 Avos, 1978" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/18/50_Avos_1978_Macao.jpg/120px-50_Avos_1978_Macao.jpg" decoding="async" width="120" height="61" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/18/50_Avos_1978_Macao.jpg/180px-50_Avos_1978_Macao.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/18/50_Avos_1978_Macao.jpg/240px-50_Avos_1978_Macao.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1888" data-file-height="958" /></a></span></div> <div class="gallerytext">50 Avos, 1978</div> </li> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 155px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 150px; height: 150px;"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Macau-1Pataca-1952.jpg" class="mw-file-description" title="1 Pataca, 1952"><img alt="1 Pataca, 1952" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/09/Macau-1Pataca-1952.jpg/120px-Macau-1Pataca-1952.jpg" decoding="async" width="120" height="60" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/09/Macau-1Pataca-1952.jpg/180px-Macau-1Pataca-1952.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/09/Macau-1Pataca-1952.jpg/240px-Macau-1Pataca-1952.jpg 2x" data-file-width="640" data-file-height="320" /></a></span></div> <div class="gallerytext">1 Pataca, 1952</div> </li> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 155px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 150px; height: 150px;"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Macau-5Patacas-1971.jpg" class="mw-file-description" title="5 Patacas, 1971"><img alt="5 Patacas, 1971" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c0/Macau-5Patacas-1971.jpg/120px-Macau-5Patacas-1971.jpg" decoding="async" width="120" height="60" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c0/Macau-5Patacas-1971.jpg/180px-Macau-5Patacas-1971.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c0/Macau-5Patacas-1971.jpg/240px-Macau-5Patacas-1971.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1000" data-file-height="500" /></a></span></div> <div class="gallerytext">5 Patacas, 1971</div> </li> </ul> <p>Brass 10, 20 and 50 avos and cupro-nickel 1 and 5 patacas were introduced in 1982.

The BNU issues were augmented by 1 and 20 avo notes in 1942, and in 1944, 500 pataca notes were introduced. Also in 1944, further cashier's cheques were issued, denominated 1,000 yuan and NC$5,000.
