More than 51 million coins worth almost 242 million rubles were returned to circulation by citizens during the Coin Week, which took place in April this year. Thanks to the fact that new retail outlets joined the campaign, residents of 3,058 settlements were able to take part in it (2,568 in 2024).
People handed in 235 tons of change to banks and shops — 17.5% more than last autumn. Half of the total weight was coins of 1, 2 and 5 rubles, the most popular in shops. The largest number of coins was collected in Moscow and the Moscow Region, St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region, and Krasnodar Krai.
Some banks and shops continue to accept coins for exchange for banknotes or crediting to an account. The addresses of participants and the conditions of acceptance are presented on the website coinweek.rf.
In order to return coins to circulation, it is not necessary to wait for a special occasion; you just need to pay for goods and services with them.
