FACTS

The Riksbank is responsible for providing Sweden with banknotes and coins. 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.

 

The Riksbank does not have any cashier’s office for the general public to redeem banknotes and coins. However, the Riksbank can in certain cases redeem banknotes sent by post.

Notes and coins

Sweden is to have new banknotes and coins. The General Council of Sveriges Riksbank has decided on the themes and motifs for the new banknotes and coins. They also decided on the size and colours of the new notes.
