To mark the upcoming centennial anniversary of the ROC, the Central Bank recently released new sets of commemorative coins and gold bars, which became instant hits with the public. However, as gold prices have just reached a record high, some believe the souvenirs' popularity may actually reflect a zeal for investment rather than a passion for collection.

The Central bank is to issue commemorative coins for the year 2011, the Chinese Zodiac year of the Rabbit and the country's 100th anniversary.

The coins are designed based on the theme of two gold-plated rabbits, with a hidden pattern on the upper right hand side, which shows Jade Mountain and Taiwan as the coin's gently swirled.

To celebrate the country's 100th anniversary, the Bank is to issue 20,000 10-gram gold bar, which has triggered a buying frenzy.

The gold bar is sold at NT$18,880 each.

Besides the commemorative value, many people buy it for investment purpose as the international prices for gold have been escalating in recent years.

A total of 47,500 commemorative coins for the year of rabbit is to be sold at NT$1,785 each, starting this morning.

If you are interested in buying the products, you can check out state-run banks or post offices nationwide.
