Both are set against the backdrop of the Temple of Heaven, sited in Beijing." Link to comment

Corbin Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 I would be willing to bet that they will not print many of these and most will never see one. The article states that they are printing 6 million only and did not say that there will be any more than that. With this in mind I would be willing to also bet the majority of them will never make it to the general market and end up in collectors collections. Link to comment

Only one or two branches of each major bank had those today in Guangzhou. One of the ICBC branches that had them had a one-per-person limit and had a line of at least 500 people at all times from start at 2 pm to finish at 5 pm. The line did move rather quickly though.
