Almost everyone, probably the person in the wallet, has a coin for happiness. One is in the wallet, all the rest are at home. They lie just like that, without any benefit. And, probably, many would like to get rid of them and get some kind of profit.
Most recently, people heard a rumor that Sberbank was buying up a trifle. But it is not so. Small money was bought up by one bank of Russia, but not by Sberbank, and not all the trifle was bought up, but only rare. This bank bought one-, two- and five-ruble coins from the population, which were issued in 2003 by the
mint of St. Petersburg. For each coin, regardless of what quality it was, they paid five thousand rubles. It was just an action, and it has already ended. But it was she who gave rise to rumors that Russian banks are buying up all the little things. Some people began to scoop up the pennies that were lying around and drag them to nearby offices and bank branches, while others frantically tried to type in the search engine a request: “What coins does Sberbank accept?” and, finding no information, like the first, they all the same fled to the nearest bank.
In this article we will describe which coins Sberbank accepts and dispel all myths.
First of all, I want to note that not a single bank in Russia accepts metal money if the sale value of a coin is higher than the nominal value. That is, for a five-penny coin, not one bank will not give you a large amount.
Now let's talk about which coins Sberbank accepts. This bank itself sets the purchase price. It accepts only memorable and investment:
world samples of
coins from precious metals issued by the Bank of Russia, and coins issued by foreign mints, made of precious metal with inserts of semiprecious and precious stones, with a color coating, a hologram, non-standard shapes.
Sberbank also buys metal money that has been issued for significant events and dates. For example, these are 25-ruble coins issued for the Sochi Olympics or coins of serial issues: issued for a certain year according to the Chinese calendar, zodiac signs, coins of a love theme, coins issued by February 23, March 8, etc.
Thus, the numismatic trifle is not accepted all in a row. On the official website of the bank you can see a list of what coins Sberbank buys. But you should remember: in order for the bank to pay you money for them, the state of the coin must be of BU quality, that is, it should not have been used, it should have an initial shine, a smooth surface, no scratches and flaws. It should not be visible damage and deformation, no prints. If Sberbank sold coins in the original packaging, then he will buy them from you only in the same configuration.
You need to know that the purchase of commemorative and investment coins, as well as any operations, in Sberbank occurs only if there is a document proving your identity.
Now you know what kind of coins Sberbank accepts, and you will not believe in the next rumors spread by ignorant people.
