After two tests of the Bank of China's regular commemorative coin reservation system last month, the market is also paying attention to when the second reservation of ordinary commemorative coins and commemorative banknotes for the 2024 Chinese New Year of the Dragon will start. In this test of the ordinary commemorative coin reservation system, it can be determined that the second reservation of ordinary commemorative coins and commemorative banknotes for the 2024 Chinese New Year of the Dragon will be made online and offline exchange, and will no longer be exchanged in line on the spot.
Whether it is unreasonable for the elderly to fully adopt online reservation and offline exchange for ordinary commemorative coins and commemorative banknotes has also aroused the discussion of the majority of collectors. However, judging from the appointment of ordinary commemorative coins and commemorative banknotes in recent years, online reservation and offline exchange seem to be the most reasonable arrangement at this stage.
Because before 2015, all commemorative banknotes and ordinary commemorative coins were exchanged on the spot, and as long as the bank outlets did not finish the exchange, they could queue up without restrictions until the end of the exchange, and in such on-site exchange cases, there would be more problems. Therefore, after 2015, all ordinary commemorative coins and commemorative banknotes issued have adopted the method of online reservation and offline exchange.
Ordinary commemorative coins and commemorative banknotes are exchanged online and offline, of course, there are advantages and disadvantages on the whole. However, for the appointment of the elderly, in some areas, the offline appointment and offline exchange method are still retained, but how many of this way are there? In fact, the elderly can make an appointment with the help of their family members to complete the appointment of ordinary commemorative coins and commemorative banknotes, and most of them can still be booked under normal circumstances, unless there are some particularly popular varieties.
In fact, the 2024 Chinese New Year of the Dragon ordinary commemorative coins and commemorative banknotes were originally planned to be announced on the spot one week after the end of the first exchange, but from the perspective of the on-site exchange in some places, it is quite unsatisfactory, and even affected the normal operation of some exchange banks, so it has to be carried out by online appointment and offline exchange.
It is very typical of the Shanghai area, the original plan for the 2024 Chinese New Year of the Dragon ordinary commemorative coins and commemorative banknotes for the second exchange, using the on-site exchange method, but the majority of collectors are too enthusiastic, waiting in line at the bank door overnight to wait for the exchange, Shanghai has to cancel the 2024 Chinese New Year of the Dragon ordinary commemorative coins and commemorative banknotes in the middle of the night on-site exchange, and further notice of the exchange method and exchange time, so far there is no specific exchange time and news.
