As we talk more and more about how the Island is becoming increasingly cashless, civil servants have said that there are no plans to stop producing any types of local coin or note. They have also said that there is “sufficient stock” of Jersey currency to meet demand for several years.

当我们越来越多地谈论岛上如何变得越来越无现金时，公务员表示，没有计划停止生产任何类型的当地硬币或纸币。他们还表示，泽西岛货币有“足够的库存”，可以满足几年的需求。

This news comes after the UK Treasury made headlines by not sending any orders for new coins to the Royal Mint for the first time.

在此消息发布之前，英国财政部首次没有向皇家造币厂发送任何新硬币订单，从而成为头条新闻。

The move sparked speculation over the country's future use of 1p and 2p pieces, amid wider concerns that cash is being phased out – despite UK officials stating that they are not planning to take any coin types out of circulation.

此举引发了人们对英国未来使用 1 便士和 2 便士硬币的猜测，人们普遍担心现金正在被逐步淘汰——尽管英国官员表示，他们不打算停止流通任何类型的硬币。

When the JEP asked if similar considerations were being made regarding Jersey's cash production, the Treasury Department said there were “no plans to stop producing any coin or note types at this time”.

当 JEP 询问是否正在对泽西岛的现金生产进行类似的考虑时，财政部表示“目前没有计划停止生产任何硬币或纸币类型”。

The total value of Jersey cash in circulation stood at £97,259,000 in 2023, compared to £104,682,000 in 2022 and £116,935,000 in 2021.

The Treasury said that: “Jersey infrequently prints notes and coins because the minimum print (notes) or minting (coins) run produces sufficient stock for several years.

财政部表示：“泽西岛很少印刷纸币和硬币，因为最低限度的印刷（纸币）或铸造（硬币）生产量足以满足数年的库存。

“Jersey currently holds sufficient stock to meet several years’ demand.”

“泽西岛目前拥有足够的库存，可以满足几年的需求。”

The Economic and International Affairs Scrutiny Panel is currently carrying out a review into the acceptance of cash payments in the Island and has held a series of hearings with organisations and government ministers.

经济和国际事务审查小组目前正在对该岛接受现金支付的情况进行审查，并与各组织和政府部长举行了一系列听证会。

Deputy Montfort Tadier, who chairs the panel, said they were asking government “what its vision is for managing the decline in cash and whether it will pursue a policy that envisages an eventual phasing out of cash or having a proactive policy to safeguard cash in the short to medium-term”.

该小组主席、副议员蒙福特·塔迪尔表示，他们正在询问政府“管理现金减少的愿景是什么，以及是否会采取最终逐步淘汰现金的政策，或者采取积极主动的政策来保护现金的安全”。短期到中期”。
