As the issuance of commemorative coins and banknotes for the Year of the Dragon in 2024 is approaching, the Agricultural Bank of China has recently released relevant information about reservations. Unlike in the past, this time the Agricultural Bank of China did not announce the allocation of each branch in advance, which attracted the attention of the market and collectors. The announcement clearly states that the exact allocation of each reservation network will be announced from January 2, 2024, which means that collectors will not know the exact allocation until the day before the reservation on January 3, 2024.
It is understood that the Agricultural Bank of China is responsible for the appointment exchange work in many regions, covering Tianjin, Shanxi Province, Liaoning Province, Heilongjiang Province, Shanghai City, Zhejiang Province, Anhui Province, Jiangxi Province, Shandong Province, Henan Province, Hubei Province, Hunan Province, Guangdong Province (excluding Shenzhen), Hainan Province, Sichuan Province, Guizhou Province, Yunnan Province, ** Autonomous Region, Shaanxi Province, Gansu Province, Qinghai Province, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and other regions. Among them, collectors in Guangdong Province will also have the opportunity to make an on-site appointment on January 4, 2024, which is undoubtedly a big benefit for collectors who fail to make an appointment on January 3.
For collectors in Zhejiang Province, only the approximate allocation amount can be queried at present, and the specific allocation amount of each reserved bank branch has not yet been announced. It is reported that the number of ordinary commemorative coins for the 2024 Year of the Dragon in Hangzhou is 1.31 million, and the commemorative banknotes are 1.12 million, but the specific allocation of each outlet is still a mystery. However, as soon as there is the latest news, we will share it with the majority of collectors as soon as possible.
As the appointment date approaches, the market continues to heat up. Many collectors have begun to look for pre-order channels, especially for some varieties with auspicious numbers. Traditional varieties such as the leopard, lion, and elephant are still highly sought after, while the round horn, inverted horn, birthday horn and other varieties that have emerged in recent years are also quite popular. The variety of the commander starting with 000 in the 2022 Winter Olympics commemorative banknotes has attracted widespread attention, making people wonder if the 2024 Year of the Dragon commemorative banknotes will also appear similar rare varieties.
The reservation of commemorative coins and banknotes for the 2024 Chinese New Year has undoubtedly become the focus of the recent collection market. ABC's strategic adjustment made this appointment more suspenseful and challenging, and also stimulated the enthusiasm and expectation of collectors. As collectors, we should not only pay close attention to the latest announcements of ABC, but also be fully prepared so as not to miss the opportunity. After all, with such a popular variety, every appointment is a rare opportunity.
