Categories: East Asia, Hong Kong (China), Economics & Business, Sport

The Bank of China in Hong Kong has issued a set of commemorative banknotes for Beijing Olympics. Thousands started to line up three days ahead [1] for buying the paper money and resulted in great chaos. Florence from Over the Rainbow has to report about the news and she pointed out that as the money won't be circulating in the market, what people are buying are just papers [2].
