從6月17日開始，曼谷Sentral NG Pilipinas（BSP）將暫時暫停其在馬尼拉大都會和附近地區的硬幣存款機的運行。

The central bank is reviewing its strategies to recirculate idle coins in the economy.

中央銀行正在審查其在經濟中循環閒置硬幣的策略。

The BSP said the machines will no longer accept coins starting June 17.

BSP表示，這些機器將從6月17日開始接受硬幣。

Since the launch of the machines in June last year, the BSP has collected about P1.5 billion worth of coins.

自去年6月推出這些機器以來，BSP收集了約15億比索的硬幣。

In November last year, the BSP awarded bids for the deployment and lease of 50 coin deposit machines in the country over a three-year period—six months for deployment and 30 months for actual lease.

去年11月，BSP在三年內在該國的部署和租賃中授予了50枚硬幣存款機的競標和租賃，即部署的六個月和30個月的實際租賃。

The initiative was part of the BSP’s currency recirculation efforts.

該計劃是BSP貨幣再循環工作的一部分。

The central bank allocated a budget of P351.6 million for the initiative.

As of May, 25 coin deposit machines had been installed in malls across Metro Manila.

截至5月，馬尼拉大都會的購物中心已經安裝了2枚硬幣存款機。

The BSP said the public may also deposit coins in banks where they maintain accounts.

BSP表示，公眾還可以將硬幣存放在維護帳戶的銀行中。

Unfit coins—those that are deformed or defaced—may be exchanged at any bank, regardless of account status.

不適合硬幣（變形或污損的硬幣），無論帳戶狀態如何，都可以在任何銀行交換。

“Unfit coins may be presented for exchange at any bank as part of their duty to promptly remove unfit currency from circulation,” the BSP said.

BSP說：“不適合任何銀行可以在任何銀行進行兌換，這是他們迅速從發行中取消不適合貨幣的職責的一部分。”
