Since both 2024 and 1996 are leap years, and New Year's Day falls on the same Monday, this year's calendar is exactly the same as 1996.

Many netizens discovered this phenomenon and set off a craze for the old calendar in 1996, which made the price of the old calendar 28 years ago soar.
On a foreign second-hand trading website, hundreds of old calendars from 1996 suddenly appeared, with unit prices ranging from $50 to $200. Among them, some old calendars with classic film and television drama themes are particularly sought after, such as "Star Wars", "Pocahonta", "Friends" and other film and television calendars, or the hot star calendars at that time. It has also been noted that 1996 and 2024 not only have the same dates, but also have other similarities, such as the Olympic Games in both years.
Searching for a second-hand idle website, I found that there are many posts selling 1996 calendars, with prices ranging from tens to 300 yuan.
One of them cost 720 yuan, and the theme was "Sailor Moon", and the original price was 1,200 yen at the time.
On other social platforms, many netizens also posted their own calendars for 1996.
It is reported that it is not uncommon for leap year calendars to be identical, with leap year calendars being exactly the same every 28-year cycle. If you're interested in this trend, try to find the calendars for 1968 and 1940, which are also exactly the same as this year's. Some forward-looking people may already be planning to save a few good 2024 calendars in advance and wait until 2052 to sell them online for a good price.
