The queue is in Prague, Ostrava and Ústí nad Labem, among others. ČTK reporters found it out on the spot. Already at the start of the sale on Wednesday, there was a lot of interest from people, and most branches closed queues during the day due to capacity reasons.

There is still a long line of people at the CNB branch in Ostrava today. From Nádražní street, where the entrance to the bank is, the line turns again along Zámecká street to Tyršová. Tens to hundreds of people are waiting in it. In Prague, the queue stretches from the building of the central bank to Nekázanka street.
A special banknote can be obtained until the inventory is dismantled for 1,000 crowns at the cash desks of the central bank in Prague, České Budějovice, Pilsen, Ústí nad Labem, Hradec Králové, Brno and Ostrava. Each interested party can buy a maximum of five banknotes. The CNB issued 200,000 of them. Meanwhile, people are already offering these banknotes on the Internet at several times higher prices.
