9月23日，中国人民银行发行五元纪念版硬币，居民在当地各大银行争相购买。

中国人民银行在全国范围内发行5000万枚5元黄铜硬币，背面主景图案为“和”字的行书书法。这些硬币面额5元，可与普通货币一样用于流通。

这是自2009年以来央行发行的第三套含有“和”字图案的普通纪念币。

　【讲解】

文中的commemorative coins就是“纪念版硬币”的意思。“commemorative”是形容词，解释为纪念的，例如：commemorative gold 纪念金币、commemorative stamp 纪念邮票等。

“the People's Bank of China”解释为央行，即中国人民银行。中国的“四大银行”分别是中国银行(Bank of China)、中国农业银行(Agricultural Bank of China)、中国工商银行(Industrial and Commercial Bank of China)、中国建设银行(China Construction Bank)。
