The 2024 Year of the Dragon ordinary commemorative coins and commemorative banknotes have set off a second reservation exchange boom, this time adding Zhejiang, Beijing, Hebei, Heilongjiang and Shanxi and other regions, all of which are scheduled to start reservations on the evening of April 18. The reservation period for the Year of the Dragon Commemorative Coins is from 10 p.m. on 18 April to 24 p.m. on 19 April, while the Year of the Dragon Commemorative Notes are half an hour later, from 10:30 p.m. to 24 p.m. on 19 April. The appointment window is independent and does not interfere with each other, providing more choices and opportunities for collectors.
Starting from today, eight major regions, including Guangdong, Anhui, Shaanxi, Liaoning, Zhejiang, Beijing, Hebei and Heilongjiang, have disclosed the second appointment exchange of commemorative coins and commemorative banknotes for the 2024 Year of the Dragon. Although Liaoning, Heilongjiang, Shanghai, Shandong, Henan, Hubei, Hainan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, Jiangsu and other places have not yet been announced, they are expected to be announced next week. This second appointment is most likely a nationwide reservation, which is undoubtedly exciting news for the majority of collectors.
It is worth noting that although the number of pre-orders for the 2024 Year of the Dragon ordinary commemorative coins and commemorative banknotes has been roughly announced, the specific number of pre-order exchanges at each pre-order network is still unknown. It is expected that next week, each appointment bank will announce the number of appointments available at specific outlets, and we will pay close attention to it and share the latest developments as soon as possible.
Compared to the first appointment, the change in this second appointment is quite significant. Although the Year of the Dragon commemorative coins and commemorative banknotes are reserved separately, it is expected that the reservation will be more difficult than the first time, and the reservation rules will also be adjusted. In particular, the number of commemorative banknotes for the Year of the Dragon has been adjusted to 10 per person, which may make collectors face a situation without a serial number when exchanging. In addition, the number of people who can collect on behalf of each person has also been reduced, from the original 5 to 2 people per person. The number of regular commemorative coins for the Year of the Dragon remains unchanged at 20 pieces.
In the face of these changes, collectors should pay special attention when making reservations, so as not to miss their favorite commemorative coins and banknotes. At the same time, we must also remain rational and calm, and avoid blindly following the trend and over-investing. I believe that with the joint efforts of everyone, this second appointment exchange will be carried out smoothly, bringing more joy and harvest to the majority of collectors.
