Coin Collection Programme

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) today announces that during the festive season, the two “Coin Carts” under the Coin Collection Programme will continue to provide service with normal service hours during public holidays on 25 and 26 December from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.  For the week between 22 and 28 December, the two Coin Carts are stationing at Shan King Estate in Tuen Mun District and Wan Tau Tong Estate in Tai Po District respectively. The service schedule and other details of the Programme are shown on the HKMA webpage (coincollection.hkma.gov.hk). 

The two Coin Carts completed the first cycle of serving the 18 districts from 6 October to 14 December, with 40,000 people using the service.  During the first cycle, the HKMA collected 37 million coins with a total face value of HK$33 million.  The collected coins are re-circulated to meet demand.

We encourage members of the public to use our service during the festive season and wish everyone a Merry Christmas.
