Due to the small number of combined commemorative banknotes, it has become a hot spot for citizens to buy. Last night, there were people waiting in line at 10 branches selling combination varieties. When these products began to be sold this morning, 200 to 300 people had gathered in front of the bank. The police deployed several policemen in front of each bank to maintain order, and the bank also issued a waiting list to the public. Dozens of people lined up at most branches selling mop flyers.
Bank of China Macau Branch has also launched an online booking service. By noon, all the varieties were booked up today except the MOP leaflets. Wu, a representative of Bank of China Macau Branch, said that the sales volume and sales varieties will be announced every day in the future.

The Executive Council of the Macao SAR Government has discussed and passed the administrative regulations on the issuance of banknotes, which will take effect the day after the official announcement.
