This is reported by "Rossiyskaya Gazeta" with reference to the Central Bank.
The pilot is slated for 2022.
It will take place in one of the regions characterized by a low percentage of coin return from circulation.
If the experiment is found to be successful, the use of the apparatus will expand.
“More and more commercial enterprises ordering and receiving coins for issuing change, at the same time, refuse to accept coins from the population in order to reduce their costs for its recounting and collection,” the Central Bank says in the “Main directions of development of cash circulation”.
In 2020, the Central Bank issued 1.3 billion coins.
Earlier it was reported that the Central Bank of Russia will update the design and improve the protection of all paper banknotes by 2025.
