Where the capital numerals came from
Capital numerals came into official use in the Ming dynasty. After the Guo Huan corruption case, Zhu Yuanzhang required account books to use 壹、贰、叁、肆、伍、陆、柒、捌、玖、拾、佰（陌）、仟（阡） instead of 一、二、三、四、五、六、七、八、九、十、百、千, so the figures would be harder to alter. 陌 and 阡 were later written as 佰 and 仟, and that form is still used.
How to write an RMB amount in capitals
Write the amount in regular or running script, using 壹, 贰, 叁, 肆, 伍, 陆, 柒, 捌, 玖, 拾, 佰, 仟, 万, 亿, 元, 角, 分, 零, and 整 (or 正). Do not use 一, 二 (两), 三, 四, 五, 六, 七, 八, 九, 十, 念, 毛, or 另 (or 0), and do not invent simplified forms. Traditional variants such as 贰, 陆, 亿, 万, and 圆 are also accepted.
1. When the amount ends at 元, write 整 (or 正) after 元. After 角, 整 (or 正) may be omitted. When the amount includes 分, do not write 整 (or 正) after 分.
2. The characters 人民币 should appear before the capital amount. When the amount includes 分, do not write 整 (or 正) after 分.
3. Write the capital amount immediately after 人民币, with no blank space. If 人民币 is not already printed, add those three characters. Do not preprint a fixed string of 仟, 佰, 拾, 万, 元, 角, and 分 in the capital-amount field of a bill or settlement voucher.
4. When the Arabic amount contains 0, write the capitals according to Chinese reading order, the structure of the amount, and the need to prevent alteration. Examples:
    1. A 0 in the middle is written as 零. ￥1409.50 is 人民币壹仟肆佰零玖元伍角.
    2. Several 0s in a row can be written as a single 零. ￥6007.14 is 人民币陆仟零柒元壹角肆分.
    3. When the 万 place and the 元 place are 0, or when several middle digits are 0 and those places are also 0, but the 千 and 角 places are not 0, 零 may be written once or omitted. ￥1680.32 can be 人民币壹仟陆佰捌拾元零叁角贰分 or 人民币壹仟陆佰捌拾元叁角贰分. ￥107000.53 can be 人民币壹拾万柒仟元零伍角叁分 or 人民币壹拾万零柒仟元伍角叁分.
    4. When the 角 place is 0 and the 分 place is not 0, write 零 after 元. ￥16409.02 is 人民币壹万陆仟肆佰零玖元零贰分. ￥325.04 is 人民币叁佰贰拾伍元零肆分.
Where numerals came from
The earliest counting tools were fingers and toes, which can only represent numbers up to 20. For larger amounts, most early people used pebbles. Later they tied knots, or cut marks into hide, wood, and stone. In ancient China, counting rods made of wood, bamboo, or bone were called 算筹. These methods and marks gradually became the earliest numeral symbols. Today, Arabic numerals are the standard digits worldwide.
