The Hong Kong Monetary Authority ("HKMA") has announced a new service schedule for the Coin Collection Programme, operating from 5 January 2026 to 22 March 2026.
The programme's two Coin Carts have handled 1,427,000 transactions since their launch in October 2014, accumulating 1,088 million coins valued at HK$1,755 million.
The Coin Collection Programme provides convenient locations that minimize traffic disruption, such as mobile library service sites. Service hours vary by location and are determined by parking availability and maintenance schedules, generally running from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. each week.
Each Coin Cart is equipped with two coin counting machines, operational staff, an electrical wheelchair lift, and a Community Chest donation box. The service includes coin exchanges for banknotes and the addition of value to stored value facilities, including Octopus Cards, AlipayHK, Octopus Wallet, Tap&Go, and WeChat Pay.
The HKMA commits to regular updates of the service schedule and program review, with locations selected based on public feedback and consultations with relevant departments.
