Coin Collection (1) | 硬幣回收 (一)
As we usually digital currency more, we are getting fewer and fewer occasion of using coins. I don't like carrying coins, whenever I receive coins, I put them aside when I was home or office. Slowly, there are many coins accumulated in home and office.
當我們越來越多使用電子貨幣,硬幣的出場機會就變得越來越少。而我本人是個不喜歡帶著硬幣的人,所以每當我收到硬幣,我就會把它們放在家中或者辦公室。日積月累之下,我就積聚了不少硬幣。
Hong Kong government started a Coin Collection Programme a few years ago, the idea is to collect all the coins available in the market, that are seldomly used, so that the metal used can be recycled. Especially prices of metals are going up all the time.
近年來金屬價值不斷上昇,加上硬幣使用率不停下降。政府就推行了一個硬幣回收計劃,希望把市面上的硬幣收回。
The Programme makes use of a truck that equipped with 2 coin collection machines to collect coins from Hong Kong citizens. The truck will stop at different locations for certain period of time so that people from different parts of Hong Kong can being their coins for collections. Since the coins are very heavy, people may not want to carry them around, so most of them will wait until the truck is stopped near when they live or work for coin collection.
這個計劃就是用一輛硬幣回收車,不停巡迴香港各區,利用車上的兩部硬幣回收機打它們收回。一般市民都會等那回收車停在家附近之時才做回收,畢竟大量硬幣是很重很重的。
Couple of weeks ago, I found that the truck was stopped next to my office. Therefore, I decided to give it a try. Let me show you next time! Please keep reading!
數個星期前我發現那回收車停在辦公室附近。我就決定試一試這回收服務。下一篇文章我回帶大家去看看回收到底是什麼一回事。
it will only be used in lower amounts that is true!

@guyverckw this is a revolution and people should start thinking about this because this will surely help in long run digital payments are the future of our world and also being cashless is a good thing because it would decrease cost of producing coins..... Thanks for sharing this article
