KUALA LUMPUR, July 7 — Coin deposit machines are now available nationwide to business and the public, says Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM).
In a statement today, the central bank said 236 machines had been installed in financial institutions, hypermarkets and Tabung Haji branches.
“The machines at the participating financial institutions offer same-day credit for coins that are deposited before 4pm, and next-day credit for coins deposited after 4pm,” said BNM.
The service is free.
“For machines that are located at participating hypermarkets, customers will receive shopping vouchers equal to the value of coins deposited which they can use to pay for goods purchased at the participating stores,” it said.
Annually, a significant amount of coins BNM issued were not returned for re-circulation, it said.
Go to the BNM website at for where the machines are, or contact the participating financial institutions for details. — Bernama
