Almost everyone, probably, a man in a purse is a coin for happiness. One - in the purse, all the rest - at home. They lie just like that, not doing any good. And, probably, many would like to get rid of them and get some profit.
Most recently, the people heard a rumor that Sberbank bought a trifle. But it is not so. Small money was bought up by one bank in Russia, but not by Sberbank, and not all the small things were bought up, but only rare. This bank bought from the population one-, two- and five-ruble coins, which were issued in 2003 by the mint of St. Petersburg. For every coin, regardless of what quality it was, they paid five thousand rubles each. It was just an action, and it was already over. But that's it, and it gave rise to rumors that Russian banks are buying up all the small things. Some people began to rake away pennies lying around and dragged them to the nearest offices and branches of banks, while others frantically tried to dial in the search engine query: "What coins does Sberbank take?" And, finding no information, like the first, still fled to the nearest bank .
In this article, we describe what coins Sberbank takes, and dispel all the myths.
First of all I want to note that no Russian bank accepts metal money if the selling price of a coin is higher than the nominal value. That is, for a five-kopeck coin, not one bank will not give you a large sum.
Now let's talk about what coins Sberbank takes. This bank itself sets the price for buying. He takes only memorable and investment: World samples of coins made of 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 forms.
Sberbank also buys metal money that was released to significant events and dates. For example, they are 25 ruble coins or serial coins issued for the Olympics in Sochi: issued for a certain year in the Chinese calendar, Zodiac signs, love-theme coins, coins issued by February 23, March 8, etc.
Thus, a numismatic trifle is not taken all the time. On the official website of the bank you can see a list of what coins Sberbank purchases. But it should be remembered: in order for the bank to pay you money for them, the state of the coin must have the quality of BU, that is, it should not have been used; it must have an original shine, a smooth surface, no scratches and flaws. There should be no visible damage or deformation, no prints. If coins Sberbank sold in the original packaging, then he will buy them from you only in the same configuration.
It is necessary 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 coins Sberbank takes, and you will not believe in the next rumors, unraveled by uninformed people.
