China Post issues commemorative "Year of the" notes periodically for the lunar new year cycle, but they carry no legal tender status and are sold through postal channels rather than through the People's Bank of China. The distinction matters: these are philatelic-adjacent products, not monetary instruments, and their nominal face values are essentially notional.
The dragon cycle carries particular cultural weight in China — birth rates measurably spike in dragon years, and demand for dragon-year collectibles consistently outpaces other zodiac issues. Whether that translates to long-term secondary market premium is another question entirely.
