The low circulation of commemorative banknotes for the 29th Olympic Games triggered a change in the way of issuing commemorative coins in China, which became a watershed for the People's Bank of China to issue commemorative coins. The circulation of commemorative banknotes for the 29th Olympic Games is 6 million, and it is hard to find one banknote, which has aroused a lot of public opinion and prompted the People's Bank of China to carry out a comprehensive reform on the issuing method of commemorative coins (banknotes). Affected by this, the issue of commemorative coins (banknotes) in 2008-20 15 was delayed, and the circulation gradually increased. It was not until 20 15 that a relatively complete new commemorative coin (banknote) issuance model was completely established, and commercial banks undertook the issuance task.
