Without rubles for years: ATMs in the Russian Federation do not perceive “wooden” as money

On June 30, new banknotes with a face value of one hundred rubles were put into circulation in Russia. However, the population will not soon be able to use them at ATMs.

According to local media, ATMs, terminals, cash registers and other special equipment for counting money are not taught to recognize updates.

Simply put, the technology does not accept new Russian banknotes as money. It is expected that the reconfiguration of technology can take years.

What is the reason?

The situation is explained by the fact that manufacturing companies left the Russian Federation due to Western sanctions, and the majority of ATMs (over 60%) belong to the “hostile” companies NCR and Diebold Nixdorf. Cash equipment is generally completely imported. The pro-government structures of the aggressor country are convinced that the update will take only a month and everything will be set up.

But bankers believe that it is not worth relying on the experience of 2017, when credit institutions were not under sanctions, and manufacturers did not leave the Russian Federation. They assume that suppliers will generally refuse to support new banknotes, that is, their use in devices will be impossible.

Despite the fact that even 100 rubles is difficult to renew and will take several years, the Central Bank of Russia does not stop. It is expected that from 2023 new banknotes of 1,000 and 5,000 rubles will be put into circulation.

Manure will become running in the Russian Federation

Recently, the Russian Duma passed a law according to which fertilizers can be registered as property. Only after the manure becomes the property of the population, it can be sold.

Until the entry into force of the new law, the use of waste in agriculture is prohibited. To do this, you need to go through many procedures:

• issue a waste passport;
• determine the hazard class;
• conduct an environmental review;
• get a license.

The new law equates manure and droppings after special treatment to “animal by-products”. Consequently, the resource can be used to enrich soil fertility.

The Russian authorities hope that the innovation will help create a separate area related to organic fertilizers. Manure from the Russian Federation is going to be exported and used as a raw material in agriculture.

Greenpeace and the local environmental inspectorate opposed the government initiative, as farmers often abuse their position and pollute the environment.

Segodnya previously reported that in Russian fast food restaurants, instead of Pepsi and Coca-Cola, you can increasingly see “import substitution” with “interesting” flavors for the same price, and they also wrote about how sushi in the form of terrorist letters is sold to the population of the Russian Federation .
