The second reservation for the 2024 Chinese New Year of the Dragon ordinary commemorative coins and commemorative banknotes has also ended, and I think many collectors, like me, basically did not make any reservations for ordinary commemorative coins and commemorative banknotes for the Year of the Dragon. Because when entering the reservation system for ordinary commemorative coins and commemorative banknotes, after filling in various information and entering the reservation outlets, it has been shown that the number of all varieties that can be reserved is 0.
Of course, the 2024 Chinese New Year ordinary commemorative coins and commemorative banknotes are reserved for the second time, and some collectors have successfully made appointments for ordinary commemorative coins and commemorative banknotes for the Year of the Dragon. Because I have looked at some coin collection groups, and among my fan base, the proportion of collectors who have successfully reserved dragon coins and dragon banknotes is still relatively small, taking the fan group as an example, the fan base of more than 300 people has only a single-digit successful reservation.
The situation that makes it more difficult to make an appointment this time is also more complicated, because the number of ordinary commemorative coins and commemorative banknotes for the 2024 Chinese New Year is relatively small, the number of ordinary commemorative coins for the Year of the Dragon is more than 5 million, and the number of commemorative banknotes for the Year of the Dragon is more than 2.3 million, and the number of appointments allocated to various reservation outlets is even rarer, especially for the Year of the Dragon commemorative banknotes, there are only 80 reservation outlets, and only 8 people can make an appointment. Due to the scarcity of the number of reservations available, there is a phenomenon of seconds at the time of reservation.
In the past, when making reservations for ordinary commemorative coins and commemorative banknotes, it was basically only 3~5 minutes to make an appointment, but this time the situation of direct seconds appeared, of course, this cannot be completely considered that the second light phenomenon is the reason for the small number. Some collectors speculate that there are plug-ins involved in this appointment. This reason cannot be ruled out, because some collectors have also come up with screenshots and related videos of some scalpers using plug-in appointments.
After the second reservation of dragon coins and dragon banknotes, some collectors posted screenshots and videos of some scalpers using plug-ins to reserve ordinary commemorative coins and commemorative banknotes for the Year of the Dragon in major coin collection groups and fan groups. Judging from the screenshots sent by collectors, some of them directly use plug-in software to make an appointment on the computer, and some need to open an emulator to use it, and the most important thing is that their speed is very fast.
I also took a closer look, and some of the contents that can be preset include account name, ID number, phone number, number of appointments, etc., which can be set in advance, and even the reservation outlets are fully automatic scanning of the number of appointments. As long as there is a remaining number at the outlet, you can directly make an appointment for the 2024 Year of the Dragon ordinary commemorative coins and commemorative banknotes, no additional operation is required, and all are done with one click.
To be honest, plug-in appointments have existed since ordinary commemorative coins and commemorative banknotes were made online for reservations, and they are constantly innovating. However, judging from the current actual situation, the reservation system for ordinary commemorative coins and commemorative banknotes still cannot prevent plug-ins from participating in reservations.
