On the first working day of 2024, the exchange of commemorative coins and banknotes for the Year of the Dragon kicked off, and an exchange boom was set off in front of major banks. According to the Elephant News reporter's on-the-spot report, before 9 o'clock in the morning, a bank in Zhengzhou, Henan Province had gathered many citizens, and everyone queued up in order to obtain the "top stream" souvenirs of the year. Behind the hot reservation of this Year of the Dragon commemorative coin, the market is extremely active.
According to the announcement of the central bank, the number of commemorative coins and commemorative banknotes issued nationwide for the Year of the Dragon reached 1200 million pieces and 100 million pieces, with face values of 10 yuan and 20 yuan. The limit for pre-order redemption is 20 and 20 tickets per person. In this sale, there was an unprecedented madness in the market, and the 20 yuan face value of the Year of the Dragon commemorative banknote once soared to 40 yuan.
Industry insiders pointed out that multiple factors have led to this soaring frenzy. First of all, the previous Century Dragon banknotes have risen impressively, and the market's expectations for the Year of the Dragon commemorative banknotes are even higher. Secondly, as the first zodiac commemorative banknote to be released in recent years, the Year of the Dragon commemorative banknote has aroused strong demand in the market in terms of meaning and quantity limitations.
Year of the Dragon commemorative coins and banknotes have become the 'top of the year' in 2024," said one coin dealer, "The meaning of the dragon has always been highly regarded in Chinese culture, and the limited number of sales this time has caused the market to be in short supply for a while." ”
On the night of the opening of the reservation, the enthusiasm for redemption spread rapidly, and a number of related topics quickly appeared on the hot search list on social **. Many netizens shouted: "No seconds!.""I can't make an appointment, I can't make an appointment at all!In this case, some merchants even started pre-sale in the second-hand trading platform in advance, and the ** of commemorative coins and commemorative banknotes soared in a short period of time, and the total price of a set has been speculated to more than 1,000 yuan, and more sellers made it clear that "take it out and mail it".
The bank staff said that after the appointment is successful, it is not necessary to come to redeem and collect it according to the appointment date, and from January 9 to 15, consumers can choose any day to come to redeem. This is also to alleviate the queuing pressure on the first day of the Year of the Dragon commemorative coin exchange, and encourage the public to come to exchange at a staggered time.
For those citizens who failed to grab it at the time of appointment, industry insiders revealed that there is still a chance to "pick up the leak". Although the appointment quota of major banks has been full, some appointments may be given up due to inter-bank, inter-provincial and other reasons. It is reported that after the end of the reservation exchange period, the bank will gather the amount of abandoned exchange and organize another appointment, which is expected to be around mid-January. Therefore, those who have not been able to make an appointment still have the opportunity to seize this redemption opportunity.
However, experts remind the public that the purchase of commemorative coins should pay more attention to their commemorative and collectible value, rather than blindly following the trend of speculation. While the market is volatile, rational buying is essential for both value preservation and collection. The popularity of commemorative coins and commemorative banknotes for the Year of the Dragon has also injected a unique scenery into the beginning of 2024. Reminder: While participating in this event, you must keep your eyes open, and don't be deceived and let unscrupulous merchants take advantage of it.
