Lodgement of banknotes

The Deutsche Bundesbank has updated its banknote processing by introducing high-performance, state-of-the-art multi-denomination banknote processing systems (BPS). By 1 July 2008, all branches had been equipped with multi-denomination BPS 1120 systems. Based on the technical possibilities this system provides, the range of services was tailored to be more client-oriented. Using multi-denomination processing systems has made lodgement preparations, which used to be very labour intensive, obsolete.

The brochure, which is available as a download, provides an overview of the regulations regarding banknote lodgements.

Lodgement of coins

As of 1 January 2011, Deutsche Bundesbank branches will accept lodgements of coins from retail customers free of charge only if they comply with the standards laid down in the guidelines for the packaging of coin rolls and if whole numbers of standard containers are submitted per denomination. Setting a coin roll standard makes it easier, regardless of the producer, to put these coin rolls in foil packs or individual rolls into circulation.
