₽135 million is not chump change: Coin Week results

The largest number of coins was collected in Central Russia, Siberia and the Urals. The 1-, 5- and 10-ruble coins were turned in most commonly, although some Russians only exchanged low-denomination coins of under 1 ruble or solely kopecks. People brought money in bags, plastic containers and even 5-litre bottles. A personal record was set by a Russian who had collected about 50,000 coins (175 kg) in a year. 

The Coin Week spurred great interest: according to the survey on монетнаянеделя.рф, 92% of the respondents supported the campaign and believe it should continue to be held in future.
