Notes and coins
The Riksbank is responsible for providing Sweden with banknotes and coins. The work includes supplying banknotes and coins, destroying banknotes and coins that can no longer be used and accepting banknotes that are no longer valid.
The Riksbank has two offices and via these supplies the banks with cash. The banks, or their agents, then distribute the cash to the retail trade and the general public.
