Almost everyone, probably, has a coin in his wallet for happiness. One is in the wallet, all the rest are at home. They just sit there doing nothing. And, probably, many would like to get rid of them and get some profit.

Most recently, there was a rumor among the people that Sberbank was buying change. But it is not so. Small money was bought up by one bank of Russia, but not by Sberbank, and not all trifles were bought up, but only a rare one. This bank bought from the population one-, two- and five-ruble coins, 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 rake out the pennies they had lying around and drag them to the nearest offices and bank branches, while others frantically tried to type in the search engine the query: “What coins does Sberbank accept?” and, having found no information, like the first ones, they still fled to the nearest bank.

In this article we will describe,what coins does Sberbank accept, and dispel all myths.

First of all, I would like to note that not a single Russian bank accepts metal money if the sale value of the coin is higher than the face value. That is, for a five-kopeck coin, more than one bank will not give you a large amount.

Now let's talk about what coins Sberbank accepts. This bank itself sets the purchase price. It accepts only commemorative and investment:

global samples of precious metal coins issued by the Bank of Russia, and coins issued by foreign mints, made of precious metal with inserts of semi-precious and precious stones, with color coating, hologram, non-standard shapes.

Sberbank also buys metal money that was issued for significant events and dates. For example, these are 25-ruble coins issued for the Olympics in Sochi or coins of serial issues: issued by a certain year according to the Chinese calendar, signs of the Zodiac, coins with a love theme, coins issued by February 23, March 8, etc.

Thus, not all numismatic change is accepted. On the official website of the bank, you can see a list of which coins Sberbank buys. But you should remember: in order for the bank to pay you money for them, the condition of the coin must be of BU quality, that is, it should not have been used, it must have its original shine, a smooth surface, no scratches or flaws. It should not show any visible damage anddeformation, no marks. If Sberbank sold coins in the original packaging, then it 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 transactions, in Sberbank occurs only if you have a document proving your identity.

Now you know what coins Sberbank accepts, and you will not believe in the next rumors spread by ignorant people.
