Last year, the Commemorative Banknote for the Winter Olympics was officially issued. This set of commemorative banknotes was highly anticipated before it was issued, because there was news in advance that there was a plastic banknote in this set of commemorative banknotes.
However, we also know the follow-up things, because of the reduction of the reservation ceiling, and the circulation of 200 million sets, this set of commemorative banknotes is not as popular as the Central Mother expected, and although the Tibetan friends are enthusiastic about participating, they have not made an appointment twice.
However, what we want to talk about in this article is not the Commemorative Banknote of the Winter Olympics, but the other leading commemorative banknote that has returned to the public's vision again due to its issuance- the Commemorative Banknote for the New Century.
This commemorative banknote is referred to as the Century Dragon Banknote.
Century Dragon Banknotes that no one ever wanted
The Century Dragon Banknote is the second commemorative banknote issued by the mainland, which was issued in 2000.
After learning the lesson of the previous founding commemorative banknote falling below par value, the Century Dragon Banknote significantly reduced its circulation to only 10 million copies.
However, Yang Mama still overestimated the public's enthusiasm for collecting, because the circulation of 10 million yuan and the face value of 100 yuan were still unbearable for most Tibetan friends at that time. Therefore, after the issuance of this commemorative banknote, it was snubbed, and basically not many people wanted it.
Not long after its release, it returned to its par value, and for a long time, it was not noticed. However, it will usher in two turns in the future, both brought about by the issuance of new banknotes.
The first major turning point was the issuance of Olympic banknotes
In 2008, the Olympic Commemorative Banknote was officially issued. Due to the cold reception of the Century Dragon banknote, the issuance of Olympic banknotes continued to shrink, only 6 million pieces were issued, according to industry statistics, of which only 3 million were issued domestically.
In addition to the circulation, The central mother also found that the face value is too large to look good, so the Olympic banknote is the smallest commemorative banknote, only 10 yuan. However, the double adjustment in circulation and denomination seems to be a bit excessive. Moreover, the theme of the Olympic Games, the enthusiasm of the people is also extremely high, so many people want to collect an Olympic banknote. But the vast majority of Tibetan friends cannot be exchanged.
As a result, the Olympic banknotes were just exchanged, and they directly rose by about 100 times.
This directly ignited the public's enthusiasm for the collection of commemorative banknotes, the Olympic banknotes can not be exchanged, but there are two commemorative banknotes in front of them that have always been in value. Therefore, the Jianguo Banknote and the Century Dragon Banknote embarked on the Kangzhuang Avenue.
However, as time goes by, so does their popularity. Even the performance was at its peak, with a marked decline.
The second major turning point is the reissuance of plastic banknotes
In addition to being the second commemorative banknote, the Century Dragon Banknote is also the first plastic banknote in the mainland. However, after its issuance, there were no new plastic banknotes issued on the mainland until the Commemorative Winter Olympics.
The Winter Olympics ice sports banknote is a plastic banknote issued again by the mainland after more than 20 years. The issuance of this plastic banknote is the second turning point of the Century Dragon Banknote, which has laid its leading position in plastic banknotes and made the eyes of many Tibetan friends return again.
In recent times, the popularity of dragon banknotes has increased significantly, and the single sheet has reached around 1700.
More importantly, the ice sports banknote has obviously opened the prelude to the issuance of plastic banknotes again, and then we will definitely see more plastic banknotes, and the Century Dragon Banknote will also be repeatedly mentioned in this process, and its collection value will also be valued by more Collectors.
After all, the shortcomings of the original large denomination and large circulation can be ignored in today's view, and even the circulation is very rare.
I wonder if you've ever exchanged this plastic note?
