How it's used
Primarily used in formal or semi-formal contexts involving finance, philately, or ticketing. It specifically refers to the nominal value printed on an item rather than its current market value or resale price. You will often hear it in banking or post office scenarios.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the general concept of price or cost, which is 價錢. 面額 strictly refers to the pre-printed value on an instrument, not the amount you actually paid for it.
