LIST: Turn Your Coins Into GCash at These BSP Deposit Machines In and Around the Metro
There's one in Cavite, too.
(SPOT.ph) Have lots of coins collecting dust at home? If you can't bring them to the bank yet or have no plans to use them as payment for goods and services, here's an alternative: Deposit them to Coin Deposit Machines deployed by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) around Metro Manila and Cavite so you can turn them into GCash credit or shopping vouchers.
The central bank's Coin Deposit Machines encourage Filipinos to turn idle coins into credit as it promotes coin recirculation in the country. Currently, there are 10 CDMs deployed around the National Capital Region, with 15 more machines to be deployed until August, BusinessWorld said in a report.
