BSP 硬幣存款機人氣飆升，可收集數百萬貨幣

The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) announced on Monday that its coin deposit machines (CoDMs) have skyrocketed in popularity, collecting an impressive P648.9 million worth of currency as of April 15. This represents a significant 12.4% increase from the P577.42 million collected during the same period a month prior.

菲律賓中央銀行 (BSP) 週一宣布，其硬幣存款機 (CoDM) 的受歡迎程度飆升，截至 4 月 15 日，可收集價值 6.489 億比索的貨幣。同期收集了4,200 萬美元。

The BSP attributed this surge to the growing public awareness of the machines and their convenience. A total of 179.64 million pieces of coins were deposited, marking a 10.7% rise from the 162.31 million recorded in the previous month. Additionally, as of April 15, 161,725 transactions had been completed through the CoDMs.

菲律賓央行將這種激增歸因於大眾對機器及其便利性的認識不斷增強。累計存幣量17964萬枚，較上月的16,231萬枚成長10.7%。此外，截至 4 月 15 日，已透過 CoDM 完成了 161,725 筆交易。

The BSP and its retail partners introduced the deposit machines in June 2023 with the primary goal of promoting efficient coin recirculation nationwide. This initiative was designed to address the artificial coin shortage that had plagued the financial system and to ensure that only fit and legal tender currency was available for public use.

BSP 及其零售合作夥伴於 2023 年 6 月推出了存款機，其主要目標是促進全國範圍內硬幣的高效再循環。這項措施旨在解決困擾金融體系的人為硬幣短缺問題，並確保只有合適且合法的貨幣可供大眾使用。

All denominations of the BSP Coin Series and New Generation Currency Coins Series are accepted by the CoDMs. The machines are equipped to reject unfit or demonetized coins, as well as foreign currency and foreign objects, ensuring the quality and integrity of the coins in circulation.

CoDM 接受 BSP 硬幣系列和新一代貨幣硬幣系列的所有面額。這些機器可以剔除不合格或廢幣以及外幣和異物，確保流通中硬幣的品質和完整性。

The deposited coins can be conveniently credited to an individual's e-wallet account or converted into shopping vouchers. This flexibility has further enhanced the appeal of the CoDMs.

存入的硬幣可以方便地存入個人的電子錢包帳戶或轉換成購物券。這種靈活性進一步增強了 CoDM 的吸引力。

In February, BSP Deputy Governor Bernadette Romulo-Puyat expressed the central bank's commitment to expanding the network of CoDMs. She announced plans to roll out an additional 25 deposit machines this year, bringing the total to 50.

2 月，菲律賓央行副行長 Bernadette Romulo-Puyat 表達了央行擴大 CoDM 網路的承諾。她宣布計劃今年再推出 25 台存款機，使總數達到 50 台。

Currently, 25 CoDMs are operational in the Greater Manila Area, strategically placed in select retail establishments of SM Store, Robinsons Supermarket, and Festival Mall. These machines offer easy access and convenience for the public to deposit their coins and contribute to the efficient circulation of currency.

目前，有 25 家 CoDM 在大馬尼拉地區運營，策略性地分佈在 SM Store、Robinsons Supermarket 和 Festival Mall 的精選零售場所。這些機器為公眾存入硬幣提供了方便和便利，並有助於貨幣的高效流通。

The BSP's initiative to promote coin recirculation through CoDMs has proven to be highly effective. The substantial increase in currency collected and transactions processed is a testament to the machines' practicality and utility. The BSP's commitment to expanding the network and educating the public about the benefits of using CoDMs will further enhance the positive impact on the financial system and the overall economy.

事實證明，菲律賓央行透過 CoDM 促進硬幣再流通的舉措非常有效。收集的貨幣和處理的交易量的大幅增加證明了機器的實用性和實用性。央行致力於擴大網路並教育大眾了解使用 CoDM 的好處，這將進一步增強對金融體系和整體經濟的正面影響。
