Is there any possibility of "speculation" in the "soaring" price of "dragon banknotes" and "dragon banknotes"
It is reported that the new Year of the Dragon commemorative banknote issued this time is the first commemorative banknote issued in China since 1999, but it is not the first commemorative banknote with the dragon as the theme on the front. On November 28, 2000, the People's Bank of China issued a commemorative note of "Welcoming the New Century" to welcome the new century and the new millennium, which was called "Millennium Dragon Note" by collectors. The "Millennium Dragon Bank Note" has a face value of 100 yuan and a circulation of 10 million pieces. It is also the first time for China to issue plastic banknotes.
According to the announcement of the People's Bank of China, 100 million "dragon banknotes" will be issued nationwide in 2024 (including 20000 historical currency files), and 120 million "dragon banknotes" will be issued (including 10000 historical currency files).
In response, an insider told the reporter that the circulation of commemorative coins or banknotes issued in the past was not low. As soon as the "dragon banknotes" and "dragon banknotes" were issued, their prices "skyrocketed", and some people were "hyping" behind them.
In response, Yuan Yinlong, vice president of the Henan Collectors Association and chairman of the Coin Professional Committee, said that a commemorative note with a single face value of 20 yuan is generally about 25-30 yuan in private transactions. If it exceeds this price, consumers need to think calmly. "Every year after the issue of commemorative banknotes, they are very popular, but the popularity is only half a year or a year. For example, the Millennium Dragon banknotes in 2000 were also very popular when they were first issued."
The reporter learned from the search of the millennium dragon banknote issued in 2000 on the leisure fish platform that, at present, the price of ordinary bills with a face value of 100 yuan ranges from 100 yuan to 600 yuan, and the price of famous brands such as 666 and 888 ranges from 1000 yuan to 3000 yuan.
"The reason why the commemorative notes of the Year of the Dragon can achieve a high premium is mainly because their sales volume is limited, their scarcity has increased its market value, cultural enthusiasm and collection investment demand have also pushed up the price, forming a situation of imbalance between supply and demand, which has caused a certain spillover effect of commemorative notes." Yuan Yinlong reminded that consumers should treat commemorative coins and commemorative notes rationally, Don't buy blindly. When purchasing, we should consider our own economic capacity and investment purpose, avoid blindly following the trend or being attracted by excessive premium, and pay attention to prevent false transactions and investment risks.
