Collectible value
From the perspective of collection, among the 5 sets of RMB currently issued, the first three sets of RMB have successively withdrawn from the circulation field, of which the first set of RMB is currently expensive and difficult to collect due to its long age and small amount of existence; the second set of RMB has long been developed earlier, many collectors have long begun to consciously collect, and it is difficult for general collectors to find good collections; the third set of RMB is a set of RMB currently issued and circulated in the mainland, which has stopped circulating in the market since July 1, 2000. This set of renminbi has written a glorious page in the history of mainland currency issuance with its distinctive theme ideas, novel design style, reasonable structure of coupons, complete varieties of main and auxiliary coins, advanced printing technology and strong anti-counterfeiting performance. From the perspective of collection, it is the most promising and potential set of RENMINBI. Therefore, collecting the third set of renminbi can be said to be a better choice for collectors who are new to renminbi.
