Payment terminals do not accept the 1000 ruble banknotes

The new banknotes were so protected that in some regions of the devices refuse to accept them. Problems have arisen with the money face value of 1000 rubles issued in December last year. Moreover, the operation is blocked, not only in street terminals, even modern calculating machines of the Central Bank does not work with the new banknotes. The Central Bank calm, a similar situation occurred with five-thousand cuts, as well as the ten-coins, so no reason for concern. The situation will be resolved shortly, promises to the regulator. It is worth noting that the new bill has cost the state dearly: Due to hardware upgrades, its cost has increased by one third. True, in the Central Bank believe these costs should be incurred, because the money needs to be replaced every 4-5 years. Recall that to date, bill of 1000 rubles. is the most fakes in Russia. Thus, it accounts for 95% of all fakes. Just last year, law enforcement authorities seized more than 100 thousand of such bills.
