Mr.Tony Au, one of the 30,000 spectators in the Grandstand, he told me he was planning to buy a few sets of this Sepang F1 Commemorative Coins Set after the race, sad to find out that not even a single piece of souvenir item was left in the F1 souvenir arcade after the race.
F1 souvenir arcade,with the total trading area of more than 10,000 square feet (size of 10 shop lots), was totally emptied by the Formula-1 spectators from all over the world in 1999. Resulted the local market is  totally dried of MALAYSIA FORMULA ONE GRAND PRIX 1999 Commemorative Coin stocks.
