Throughout the world, chasing commemorative coins of base metal is a great way of earning extra money for the Central Bank. Judge for yourself: cb produces a coin that collectors will withdraw from circulation, and this means that you can optionally issue banknote with the same face value, absolutely no fear of inflation. In fact, the coin becomes a commodity which the Central Bank sells the collector. For example, the U.S., thanks to a series of quarter-on states, was put in its budget of about $ 5 billion.
