This surge underscores the growing popularity of these machines among Filipinos seeking to deposit their idle coins.

菲律宾马尼拉 - 菲律宾中央银行 (BSP) 的硬币存款机使用量激增，交易总价值接近 6 亿比索的里程碑。这一激增凸显了这些机器在寻求存入闲置硬币的菲律宾人中越来越受欢迎。

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，菲律宾央行的数据显示，硬币存款机已收集超过 1.62 亿枚硬币，总计 5.774 亿比索。自 2022 年 6 月推出以来，这些机器已促成 147,517 笔交易。

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.

菲律宾央行副行长 Bernadette Romulo-Puyat 此前表示，继在马尼拉大都会和邻近省份成功部署 25 台硬币存款机后，央行打算在 2023 年将硬币存款机的数量增加一倍。

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，菲律宾央行计划评估该项目向其他地区的扩张以及启动一年后机器数量可能增加的情况。此外，央行表示希望与传统银行和数字银行合作，允许将代币直接存入银行账户。

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.

硬币存款机为客户提供了一种便捷的方式来存入法定货币硬币，并将等值金额直接存入其 GCash 或 Maya 电子钱包（电子钱包）。 SM 商店和 Festival Mall 的顾客还可以选择将存入的硬币兑换为购物券。

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.

随着各零售机构安装更多硬币存款机，菲律宾央行预计将得到更广泛的公众采用，从而提高国内硬币的再循环效率。

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.

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.

菲律宾拥有较高的硬币与人口比率，估计每个菲律宾人拥有 400 枚硬币。该国硬币总发行量达390亿枚，满足1亿人口的需求。

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.

与全球央行类似，与印刷纸币相比，菲律宾央行因铸造硬币而蒙受损失。硬币存款机的广泛采用以及随后硬币在经济中的再循环可以帮助减轻这些损失并优化金融资源的利用。
