Putting coins to use: Coin Week starts
The event will take place between 7 and 19 April 2025 across Russia.
Individuals can exchange coins for banknotes at banks and at chain stores. Furthermore, bank offices allow customers to credit the relevant amounts to their accounts.
In 2025, the number of participants increased five times. Now, over 34,000 stores and around 4,000 bank offices are ready to accept coins from individuals without a fee. For details on the terms and addresses of the participants, please visit the website монетнаянеделя.рф.
In 2024, the event was held twice. As a result, people put 75 million coins worth ₽320 million back into circulation. The weight of the coins collected was 366 tonnes. As estimated, more than five goods wagons would be needed to transport such freight.
