MANILA, Philippines - The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) has witnessed a surge in the use of its coin deposit machines, with the total value of transactions approaching the P600 million milestone. This surge underscores the growing popularity of these machines among Filipinos seeking to deposit their idle coins.

菲律賓馬尼拉 - 菲律賓中央銀行 (BSP) 的硬幣存款機使用量激增，交易總價值接近 6 億比索的里程碑。這一激增凸顯了這些機器在尋求存入閒置硬幣的菲律賓人中越來越受歡迎。

As of March 15, the BSP's data reveals that the coin deposit machines have collected over 162 million coins, amounting to P577.4 million. Since their introduction in June 2022, these machines have facilitated 147,517 transactions.

截至 3 月 15 日，菲律賓央行的數據顯示，硬幣存款機已收集超過 1.62 億枚硬幣，總計 5.774 億披索。自 2022 年 6 月推出以來，這些機器已促成 147,517 筆交易。

The BSP's Deputy Governor, Bernadette Romulo-Puyat, previously stated that the central bank intended to double the number of coin deposit machines in 2023, following the successful deployment of 25 machines in Metro Manila and neighboring provinces.

菲律賓央行副行長 Bernadette Romulo-Puyat 先前表示，在馬尼拉大都會和鄰近省份成功部署 25 台硬幣存款機後，央行打算在 2023 年將硬幣存款機的數量增加一倍。

Initially, the BSP planned to evaluate the project's expansion to other regions and the possible increase in the number of machines one year after its launch. Additionally, the central bank expressed hope to collaborate with traditional and digital banks to allow for the direct deposit of coins into bank accounts.

最初，菲律賓央行計劃評估該項目向其他地區的擴張以及啟動一年後機器數量可能增加的情況。此外，央行表示希望與傳統銀行和數位銀行合作，允許將代幣直接存入銀行帳戶。

Coin deposit machines offer a convenient means for customers to deposit legal tender coins and directly credit the equivalent amount to their GCash or Maya electronic wallets (e-wallets). Customers of SM Stores and Festival Mall also have the option to redeem the value of their deposited coins as shopping vouchers.

硬幣存款機為客戶提供了一種便捷的方式來存入法定貨幣硬幣，並將等值金額直接存入其 GCash 或 Maya 電子錢包（電子錢包）。 SM 商店和 Festival Mall 的顧客還可以選擇將存入的硬幣兌換為購物券。

With the installation of additional coin deposit machines in various retail establishments, the BSP anticipates broader public adoption, leading to more efficient coin recirculation within the country.

隨著各零售機構安裝更多硬幣存款機，菲律賓央行預計將得到更廣泛的公眾採用，從而提高國內硬幣的再循環效率。

Initially, the BSP and its partner retailers deployed coin deposit machines at key locations, including Festival Mall in Muntinlupa City, SM Mall of Asia in Pasay City, and SM City North EDSA in Quezon City. These machines are also accessible at SM Megamall in Mandaluyong City, SM City Marilao in Bulacan, and SM City Calamba.

最初，菲律賓央行及其合作夥伴零售商在關鍵地點部署了硬幣存款機，包括文珍俞巴市的 Festival Mall、帕賽市的 SM Mall of Asia 和奎松市的 SM City North EDSA。這些機器也可在曼達盧永市的 SM Megamall、布拉幹省的 SM City Marilao 和 SM City Calamba 購買。

The Philippines boasts a high coin-to-population ratio, with an estimated 400 coins per Filipino. The country's total coin circulation amounts to 39 billion coins, catering to a population of 100 million.

菲律賓擁有較高的硬幣與人口比率，估計每個菲律賓人擁有 400 枚硬幣。該國硬幣總發行量達390億枚，滿足1億人口的需求。

Similar to central banks globally, the BSP incurs losses from minting coins compared to printing banknotes. The widespread adoption of coin deposit machines and the subsequent recirculation of coins into the economy can help mitigate these losses and optimize the utilization of financial resources.

與全球央行類似，與印刷紙幣相比，菲律賓央行因鑄造硬幣而蒙受損失。硬幣存款機的廣泛採用以及隨後硬幣在經濟中的再循環可以幫助減輕這些損失並優化金融資源的利用。
