Hong Kong (BOC) new 20-dollar Olympic numismatic product (BNP906a) confirmed

This 20-dollar note commemorates the XXIV Olympic Winter Games to be held from 4 to 20 February 2022 in Beijing. The design was inspired from a famous line found in a classic moon-themed Chinese poem, “From Far Away You Share This Moment With Me.” Although legal tender, the notes aren’t intended for circulation. 2,000,000 notes were offered as numismatic products packaged in a folder for HK$138 each; sets of four uncut notes in a folder for HK$338 each; and uncut sheets of 35 notes for HK$1,388 each. Profits from the sale of the notes were donated to charitable organizations in Hong Kong.
