Data
The following data items need to be aggregated at national or regional level, as decided by the NCB — excluding remote branches.
Total number of euro banknotes processed
Euro banknotes sorted as unfit
Euro banknotes recirculated
EUR 5
EUR 10
EUR 20
EUR 50
EUR 100
EUR 200
EUR 500
In the above table, the column with the heading ‘ Total number of euro banknotes processed ’ needs to contain the total number of banknotes whose authenticity and fitness have been checked on banknote handling machines, i.e. cash-recycling machines (CRMs), cash-out machines (COMs), teller assistant recycling machines (TARMs) and banknote processing machines (BPMs), and combined cash-in and cash-out machines (CCMs) with optional fitness checking. The following banknotes are not included in this data: (a) banknotes whose authenticity and fitness check is carried out manually, e.g. over-the-counter operations or back-office operations; (b) banknotes that have been checked for authenticity but not for fitness on banknote handling machines, e.g. banknotes authenticated on cash-in machines (CIMs), CCMs (without optional fitness checking), teller assistant machines (TAMs) and banknote authentication machines (BAMs).
The column with the heading ‘ Euro banknotes sorted as unfit ’ is a subset of the total number of euro banknotes processed and needs to contain the number of banknotes that have been classified as genuine and unfit (i.e. category 4b) by the machines. This data item relates to CRMs, COMs, TARMs and BPMs, and to CCMs with optional fitness checking.
The column with the heading ‘ Euro banknotes recirculated ’ is a subset of the total number of euro banknotes processed and:
(a) for CRMs, COMs and TARMs, needs to contain the number of banknotes that have been classified as genuine and fit (i.e. category 4a) by the machines and dispensed to customers as provided by the machines’ statistics;
(b) for BPMs and CCMs with optional fitness checking, needs to contain the number of banknotes that have been classified as genuine and fit (i.e. category 4a) by the machines and that have not been returned to the NCB, but kept with the intention of recirculating the banknotes back into the cash cycle.
Number of euro banknotes distributed via customer operated machines and cash dispensers
If an NCB applies the exception for remote branches laid down in Article 7, these data are mandatory for the credit institutions of that Member State. Credit institutions must consult their NCBs to ascertain whether these data must be reported.
