2008 Beijing Olympic Commemorative Banknotes: Collection Value and Resale Price Guide

The Beijing Olympic Commemorative Banknote (commonly known as the "Green Banknote") has been a focal point in the numismatic market since its issuance in 2008, thanks to its unique design and extremely limited mintage. To help collectors more accurately understand the market value of their Olympic banknotes, Hongkang Commercial offers reference data for resale prices.


Olympic Banknote Resale Price Reference Table (Latest Edition 2026)

Prices are affected by condition, serial number (presence of digits 4, 7), and quantity of consecutive notes. For specific quotes, please refer to the actual physical appraisal.

Product Type Condition Grade Single Note Reference Resale Price (HKD) Collection Key Points

Simple Breakdown: Key Factors Affecting Olympic Banknote Value

Want to sell your Olympic banknotes for a higher price? The following hidden details are key to determining the price:

  1. Prefix and Special Serial Numbers:

    • Fancy Number Resale: Olympic banknotes containing "888", "666" or other "leopard" or "lion" numbers can be worth several times more than ordinary serial numbers.

    • Numbers without 4 or 7: In the collecting world, banknotes without the digits "4" and "7" in their serial numbers are more sought after, commanding a higher resale premium.

  2. Banknote Condition Appraisal:

    • Uncirculated Condition: Requires a pristine note face, sharp corners, and no creases or dirt.

    • Original State: "Original notes" that have not been washed or flattened are the most valuable.

  3. Grading Certification (PMG/PCGS):

    • Olympic banknotes graded and encapsulated by a third-party authentication company (such as PMG 66, 67 and above) have recognized authenticity and condition, leading to the fastest resale and transparent pricing.

  4. Differences in Issuing Editions:

    • The Mainland China green banknote has a mintage of only 6 million, making it the rarest; Hong Kong and Macau editions come in single notes, consecutive notes, and full sheets (rolls). The resale prices of different forms of Olympic banknote sets vary greatly.

Common FAQs

Do you still buy misprinted currency and replacement notes?

Yes. Misprinted currency and replacement notes (e.g., replacement notes J, ZJ, ZD, etc.) are popular collectibles. Depending on the type of error and rarity, the premium can be quite high.

Olympic banknotes & single Olympic banknote prices & how much value is lost if a Bank of China Olympic banknote has creases or soft wrinkles?

It varies greatly. The first series of renminbi in uncirculated condition is worth much more than circulating currency; slight creases on ordinary circulating notes are considered normal. We recommend taking clear photos for individual assessment.

How do you distinguish between genuine and counterfeit banknotes?

We examine multiple indicators such as serial numbers, watermarks, ink, paper quality, and printing characteristics. We have experience in authenticating the first to third series of renminbi and commemorative notes, and can verify them on-site.

Are graded (PMG) banknotes more valuable?

Yes. Third-party grading such as PMG increases liquidity and confidence, and high-grade notes can double in value. We also accept ungraded notes and provide professional on-site appraisals.
