About RMB collection

3. What are the current types of coins in China?

1. Ordinary RMB. So far, China has issued five sets of RMB. The first set of RMB was issued on December 1, 1948 and stopped circulating on May 1, 1955. There were 12 denominations and 62 editions. This set of RMB has no tokens or coins. The minimum denomination is one yuan, and the maximum denomination is 5, yuan, with obvious war marks and traces of the resumption of production. The second set of RMB was issued on March 1, 1955 and ceased to be used in circulation on May 15, 1964, with 16 editions. Dimes and cents were added and coins were issued. The third set of RMB was issued on April 15th, 1964, with 13 editions, and a few tickets are still in circulation today. The fourth set of RMB was issued on April 27th, 1987, with ***14 editions, adding large denomination currencies of 5 yuan and 1 yuan coupons. The fifth set of RMB was issued on October 1, 1999. At that time, there were 1 yuan coupons.

2. Commemorative coins in circulation. It is designed to commemorate major events in history or take historical celebrities, scientists and heroes as the theme. It has the same value scale, circulation means and payment means functions as the current currency, and can be circulated in the market at the same value. From October 1, 1984 to November 1998, China has issued 34 sets of commemorative coins, all of which have a face value of only 92.3 yuan, and the complete set price is far more than this.

3. Wrong coins. It refers to the coins that are directly put into production and flow into the market because of the wrong design of the printing plate (mold). There is only one set of coins in circulation in China, that is, the commemorative coin issued in 1992 for the tenth anniversary of the promulgation of the Constitution. This coin was originally intended to commemorate the new constitution promulgated in 1982, but it became a wrong version because it missed a word "new". In addition, the 1953 edition of RMB (2-2-7) with a face value of one yuan was designed without two slogans on the Tiananmen Wall and the Mao Zedong statue hanging above the doorway, which also became the wrong edition.

4. SAR currency. It refers to the currency used in circulation in a specific period and region, such as Hong Kong dollars, Portuguese dollars and Taiwan dollars. These coins more or less reflect a certain historical and transitional nature and are of high collection value.

5. precious metal coins. It refers to coins cast by the government with gold and silver as casting materials. In the past two years, the silver coin market has become increasingly optimistic, among which the panda silver coin has more appreciation potential. This coin is a precious metal common coin introduced by China Mint Company once a year. It weighs one ounce and has a face value of 1 yuan. It was once fried to more than 8 yuan.

4. how to collect coins?

As the interest rate of bank deposits is lowered, the coin market is booming and the number of coin collectors is growing. So, how to collect coins?

1. Learn and master the basic knowledge about coins

Only by mastering certain knowledge and information about coins can we determine the collection scope of coins and collect them in a classified and focused way. When buying in the market, only by understanding its historical background and value can we know whether the asking price of coins is reasonable, and identify the authenticity so as to prevent being cheated.

3. RMB collection, focusing on treasures

First, collect RMB with exquisite plate-making technology. In the third set of RMB issued in China, there is a 5 yuan voucher, the front of which is that steel workers are devoting themselves to steelmaking. The figures are lifelike, and the whole pattern carving is smooth and the lines are vivid and powerful. It is recognized by the international banknote printing community as a fine product in paper money, which belongs to the best collection.

second, collect RMB that is hard to find in the market circulation. On December 1, 1948, China issued the first set of RMB with 12 denominations and 62 editions. On March 1, 1955, the second set of RMB with 11 denominations and 13 editions was issued. At present, it has stopped circulating and the market is extremely rare. It has become a treasure in the coin collection market.

Third, collect RMB with rare face value. In the second set of RMB issued on March 1, 1955, there was a dark three-yuan coupon, with Jinggangshan on the front and four languages in Chinese, Uygur, Mongolian and Tibetan on the back. This is the only RMB with a face value of three yuan among the four sets of RMB issued in China before and after * * *, and it was printed by the former Soviet Union. This RMB was recovered on April 14, 1964, and stopped being exchanged and used in circulation on May 15 of the same year. There are very few existing RMB.

4. Commemorative coin collection, paying attention to quality and circulation. Commemorative coins are issued for a short time, and their face value is equivalent to that of RMB. Its value lies not in the value of cultural relics and monetary materials, but in handicrafts and commemorative significance. Due to the small circulation and exquisite shape of commemorative coins, and the increasing demand of the coin collection army, it is worth a hundred times. It is very important to pay attention to the appearance of commemorative coins. The better the appearance, the higher the price and the faster the value-added rate. If there are signs of wear or circulation, the value of commemorative coins will be much lower. It is best not to collect commemorative coins with unclear words and patterns and serious bumps.

5. What are the factors that affect the value of coins?

The value of coins is generally restricted by the following factors:

1. The time when coins are issued and circulated. Generally speaking, the longer a coin is issued, the shorter its circulation time, and the greater its value. Because of the long time, after wars, disasters and natural erosion, fewer and fewer coins can be completely preserved. For example, the "Da Qi Tong Bao" in ancient coins is said to have been cast by the "Da Qi" regime established by the Huang Chao Uprising in the Tang Dynasty. At present, only two pieces have been found in China, one of which has been exported abroad and the other is unaccounted for, and has always been regarded as priceless.

2. the number of coins issued. Any collection has the characteristic of "rare things are precious". If the number of coins issued is small, its value will be high.

3. the denomination of the coin. Generally speaking, the higher the denomination of a coin, the greater its value, especially the currency in circulation, whose value is always higher than or equal to its face value, because it still has actual purchasing power, unlike the phenomenon of falling below its face value when stamps are issued too much.

4. materials used to make coins. The value of coins made of precious metals such as gold and silver is much higher than that made of ordinary metals in the same period.

5. the properties of coins. The value of general circulation commemorative coins is higher than that of ordinary circulation coins of the same denomination. Because circulating commemorative coins are issued to commemorate major historical events, outstanding things or things of special significance, they are beautifully designed and made, which have high artistic appreciation and collection value, and most of them are issued by quota, with a small number and great appreciation potential.

6. the appearance of coins. Like philatelic products, coins with good appearance also stress appearance, and the prices of coins with good appearance sometimes differ by several times to dozens of times.

7. coins with special significance. For example, the first set of currency issued by a new regime and a new country, such as the first issue of Hong Kong dollars by the Bank of China in Hong Kong, has led to the phenomenon of long queues to exchange new banknotes for collection. Another example is the currency issued by countries and regimes that have disintegrated or disappeared, such as the coins of some eastern European countries and the former Soviet Union, and no new coins will be issued in the future.

There are also some numbers with special significance, such as serial number "12345 …" or repeated number "88888 …"; Or multiple sheets with the same number, serial number, etc.; Or "wrong coins" that are wrong in design and production, and some are often priceless.

6. What kind of coins are collectible?

1. Commemorative coins in circulation. Commemorative coins are money issued to commemorate events or people with special significance. From 1984 to November 1998, the People's Bank of China issued 34 sets of 45 commemorative coins. The value of commemorative coins is consistent with the face value and has the function of equivalent RMB. As commemorative coins are issued in limited quantities, and are manufactured by superb modeling technology and exquisite production technology, their value will increase exponentially or even hundreds of times, thus becoming the best collection.

2. Currency with strange number. A banknote with more than four digits in the same number has a collection value. The more digits with the same mantissa, the greater the collection value. Those with all eight digits in the same number are precious because of their rarity.

3. Change the old version of local currency. Local currency refers to the currency issued by revolutionary base areas and liberated areas during the first and second revolutionary civil wars, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the liberation war. Because in some special periods, in order to meet the needs of war circulation and anti-counterfeiting, the technology, color and year number are sometimes changed, and the number of old coins changed with time is getting less and less, which often becomes a collection treasure.

4. exquisite coins in circulation. Exquisite circulating coins are coins that are refined by the casting process of commemorative coins in order to improve the monetary system. Compared with ordinary coins, they have the characteristics of shiny surface, fresh patterns, bright colors and excellent printing, and have perfect artistic effects and excellent ornamental value.

5. Wrong version of ticket currency. Misprinted coins refer to deformed coins, deformed coins, deformed coins, etc., which are formed due to mistakes in a certain link during the printing process. However, once issued, these coins will be recovered immediately and flow into a very small number of society, so they are auctioned and insured at a high price, which has a very high collection value.

7. How can circulating commemorative coins increase in value?

There are many factors to increase the value of circulating commemorative coins. First, the circulating commemorative coins have functions of money, but also have historical value, artistic value and appreciation value. Because they are special currencies that cannot and cannot be reproduced, and the circulation is limited, the collection price will inevitably increase with the passage of time. Secondly, the circulating commemorative coins are exquisite in casting, excellent in materials, beautiful in patterns and rich in national style, and are favored by coin collectors in Hong Kong and Taiwan, Japan and Singapore. Third, with the development of market economy, people's material living standards have been greatly improved, and people's financial awareness, investment desire and diversification of investment have increased, and more and more people collect commemorative coins, which has objectively contributed to the situation.

8. What kind of coins are valuable?

China's currency coins have been minted for more than forty years since 1955. * * * issued four sets of different types of coins in circulation, and their collected values are also different.

since the first set was issued in 1955, * * * has issued 7 circulating coins made of aluminum alloy, including 26 coins for 1 minute, 25 coins for 2 minutes and 19 coins for 5 minutes. Although the face value of the first set of coins in circulation is not high and the issuing star is large, it lasts for a long time, so it is not easy to collect all the coins of various issuing years. In particular, for example, 1 point in 1981, 2 points in 1982, 2 points and 5 points in 1979 and 198, a considerable part of them were packaged as fine products and sold to foreign tourists in foreign-related stores, so it is very rare in China. The value of these coins in circulation is also very high, and some have reached 1 yuan each. It is more valuable to collect all of them.

the second set is a set of currency coins issued in April 198. They are 1 angle, 2 angle, 5 angle and 1 yuan. The materials are copper-zinc alloy and copper-nickel alloy. Because the back of 1 yuan denomination coin is the Great Wall pattern, it is commonly called "Great Wall Coin". From 198 to 1986, this second set of coins in circulation was issued in 7 sets every year. Due to the small circulation at that time and irregular issuance time, it was not seen in the market at all, but was collected by coin collectors and entered the coin exchange market. Therefore, it is not easy to collect all of them, which is rare. Its value is nearly 1 times or even dozens of times the face value. With the passage of time, the value-added potential of this set of circulating coins is great and has strong investment value.

the third set is the "circulating commemorative coin" which was issued in 1984. At present, it has the most value-added function and is most valued by collectors. Up to now, 34 sets of 45 coins have been issued, with the original face value of only 29-3 yuan's full set of coins. At present, the market price is nearly 2, yuan.

The fourth set was issued in June 1992, and coins with different casting years from 1992 to 1998 have been issued. The currency coin has a face value of 1 cents and is made of aluminum alloy; Angle 5 is made of brass alloy; 1 yuan is made of nickel plated steel core. Although the third set of coins in circulation has not been long, it has become polarized. There are many dimes and one-dollar coins in circulation, which makes it easy to collect new products. However, dimes are rare in the market, especially in the south, because dimes are produced by Shenyang Mint. Therefore, as long as it appears in the market, it is immediately collected by coin collectors. Among the fourth set of coins in circulation, the 5-cent coins have great appreciation, so investors should pay attention to collecting them.

9. What is the charm of gold and silver coins?

As a legal negotiable currency, gold and silver coins have a high collection value because of their limited issuance. The coin is cast with a face value, which is a one-time limited issue. The issuing right belongs to the People's Bank of China, and China Gold Coin Corporation is entrusted to specialize in the design, production and sales of gold and silver coins. At present, China Gold Coin Corporation has three branches and 45 distribution points, but its casting is only carried out in two national mint in Shanghai and Shenyang.

Although China's contemporary gold and silver coin casting industry started late, it is deeply favored by people from all over the world because of its extensive materials, exquisite casting, fantastic designs and standard color. Its sales volume once reached the third place in the world and became one of the major exporters of gold and silver coins in the world. Since the first set of gold and silver coins was minted and issued in 1979 to celebrate the 3th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, more than 7 kinds of gold and silver commemorative coins have been issued in more than a dozen series.

The collection value of gold and silver coins mainly lies in the colorful natural and cultural landscape, long history and culture, and the ever-changing major events, which provide rich materials for the pattern selection of gold and silver coins. For example, China Zodiac Series Commemorative Coins, China Panda Series Commemorative Coins, China Rare Wild Animals Series Commemorative Coins and China Outstanding Historical Figures Series Commemorative Coins have been issued, which contain unique and rich China scenery and culture, and can be called a luxurious and elegant collection.

Another advantage of gold and silver coins as collectibles is that the number of gold and silver coins issued is extremely limited. Generally, only a few hundred to more than 1, coins are issued to ensure their preservation and appreciation. For example, the circulation of 2-ounce commemorative coins (with a face value of 15 yuan) for the 4th anniversary of the founding of our country is only 1. Things are scarce, so the appreciation of gold and silver coins is very considerable every year. Coupled with the development of market economy, people's financial awareness and investment desire are obviously higher than in the past. Many people think that collecting gold and silver coins is an investment means with quick results and high returns, and they have joined the ranks of collectors. With the continuous growth of the collection of gold and silver coins, the price of gold and silver coins has increased to a certain extent, making them more and more popular. According to professionals, there is no precedent for the price of gold and silver coins issued in history. Even in the short term, the average value rate of gold and silver coins is higher than the inflation rate and bank deposit interest rate in the same period. For example, the gold coins issued by Hong Kong in 1975 to commemorate the Queen's visit to Hong Kong were fired as high as 1 times in 143; China's 1982 edition of the one-ounce panda gold coin cost more than 2, yuan at that time, and now it has risen several times.

thirdly, the circulating gold and silver coins issued in China are excellent in materials, exquisite in casting, beautiful in patterns and profound in meaning, which are of great aesthetic value, artistic value, appreciation value and historical value. These factors have also promoted and improved the increasingly bullish market of gold and silver coins, and made more people participate in the coin collection fever.

fourthly, the gold and silver coins issued in China have a strong national style and are deeply favored in the overseas coin market. In recent years, a lot of them have been collected overseas through various channels.
