As the spirit of the games has not yet died down, 1 real Rio Olympics special commemorative coins, produced by the Official Brazilian Mint are being sold by many coin dealers in Copacabana, Rio for an impressive value. Some of these dealers started collecting them very early and are doing good business now by selling them for as much as 30 US cents apiece.

Many of these coin dealers have put up their stalls at the Olympic Mega Souvenir store on Copacabana beach. People come here with their collection and try to get their coins exchanged with the ones that they don’t have. The star coin out of them is the 2012 coin which features the Olympic flag. They are being sold for 100 reals, 100 times more than its face value.
