They sold out pretty quick from what I heard but I think the Olympic Committee bought a bunch so that other countries would be able to sell them.
Does anyone know why the Beijing Olympic notes got so expensive? Was there just a really high demand or something. I think they printed like 4 or 5 million which is around double what Korea is planning on printing for Pyeongchang.
I guess the demand could have been due to the population of the host country in comparison to the amount of notes printed.
