In recent years, the relatively niche investment of rmb collection has begun to rise, and the news that several banknotes or coins have created millionaires has spread to the antique markets of various cities, which has made many people move. But industry insiders caution collectors interested in investing in the old renminbi that although the renminbi is not an antique, there are many doorways to learn. At the same time, the market price of the old renminbi, especially the fourth type of renminbi, is already at a high level, and investors should enter the market cautiously to control risks.

The old version of the renminbi is difficult to play mythology, and there are many factors affecting the value
1. Release date
The fourth edition of the two samples of 50 yuan can sell for more than 2,000 yuan in the collection market, and the other can only sell for 400 yuan, with a price difference of more than 5 times. Due to the huge difference, Mr. Xiao, the owner of the two yuan, felt strange. "They are all the fourth edition of the renminbi, and the quality is similar, how can it be so far away?"
2: 1949 Chinese Min Min Bank 10,000 yuan, coal transportation and tillage, EPQ66 is very rare, estimate: HKD 20000, transaction price: HKD 54740
For the question of Mr. Xiao, a "layman" of banknote collectors, the banknote operators who came to the specialized antique market hoped to get the answer. The merchant explained that both yuan were in the fourth edition and that there was almost no difference in appearance. But one is the 1980 version and the other is the 1990 version. The difference in the era of issuance determines that the two banknotes have a large price difference in the collector's market. "The fourth renminbi deposits in the 1980 edition were much lower than those in the 1990 edition."

2. Appearance
In addition to the date of issuance, the "quality phase" is also another important factor affecting the price of the old version of the renminbi. "Quality" refers to whether the currency is well preserved. Banknotes with a certain collection and investment value are generally at least 20 years old, and it is not easy to preserve the banknotes intact for such a long time.

"Industry insiders said that like other types of collectibles, in the field of paper money collection, the quality of the product plays a decisive role in the price of the collection." The completeness of the ticket is not a good appearance. In fact, banknotes that can be sold at high prices are almost new. Even a little wrinkle can have a big impact, and a paper currency with folds can only be considered 90% new even if the face is not polluted. Generally, the market price refers to new collectibles, and if it is a collection of less than 5 finished products, there is almost no collection value. ”

The old version of the renminbi is risky to control, and the wrong version is valuable
"In the past, the RMB inventory was relatively large and familiar to people, so it became the main category in the field of paper money collection." Senior banknote collectors said that the news that the fourth batch of renminbi was withdrawn from circulation has played a significant role in promoting the market price of the renminbi, and it is unrealistic to rely on the old renminbi to become an upstart overnight. The person said, "The real 'big money' is only the wrong version of the renminbi, and the value of other old renminbi markets is not high." Unless the collector has an old renminbi with a serial number of "whole knife" (i.e. 100 pieces). ”
In short, when collecting old renminbi, it is not only necessary to be wary of fakes, but also to understand and learn all aspects of knowledge, so that the paper money you invest in can be more valuable.
