Revealing the manufacture, distribution and withdrawal of RMB coins

  Xinhua News Agency reporter Li Yanxia

  Renminbi coins, also known as "steel coins", are closely related to our lives. How many processes does it take to create a coin? Where did the coins you threw when you took the bus and bought drinks end up? Xinhua News Agency reporters recently walked into the mint and commercial banks to unveil the mystery of coin production, manufacturing and sorting.

  Manufacturing: more than ten processes

  On the afternoon of October 9, the reporter came to the second workshop of Shanghai Mint Co., Ltd., and eight blank cake presses were working intensively. After the "nickel-clad steel" green cakes enter the embossing machine through the feeding hoist, the machine impresses each green cake, and then enters the online mechanical inspection equipment through the conveyor belt to judge the product quality, including whether the pattern is clear and full, whether the front and back molds are aligned, etc. Unqualified products will be rejected, and qualified products will enter the automatic packaging line for wrapping, plastic sealing and packing.

  These are only the last three steps of coin manufacturing: stamping, testing and packaging. The birth of a coin has to go through two major links: mold design and production, and manufacturing and production, and more than ten processes.

  Drawing design is the first step of coinage. Among the coins that have been issued in circulation in China, the adoption of the national emblem pattern and the design of the flower series pattern have profound political significance and historical background. After the design draft is completed, the next steps are to make oil soil mold, copy gypsum mold, cast copper mold, carve original mold, copy working mold and so on.

  Yu Min, a senior arts and crafts artist of Shanghai Mint Co., Ltd., is the sculptor of the original model of one yuan peony coin in the fourth set of RMB in China. He told reporters that because it was the first time to adopt the new material of "nickel-clad steel", the three-dimensional relief was repeatedly modified on the clay mold and gypsum mold, and it took two or three years from the beginning to the end. "According to the design drawings, the biggest problem is to grasp the height, which is 10% of a millimeter, so it needs to be adjusted constantly."

  After the mold is made, the next step is the production process, which mainly includes strip casting, blank cake punching, blank cake polishing, blank cake printing, weighing and counting, product packaging and so on. At present, the production of coins in China is mainly completed by Shanghai Mint Co., Ltd., Nanjing Mint Co., Ltd. and Shenyang Mint Co., Ltd.

  Issue: Four sets of coins witness the economic and social development of China.

  At present, China has issued a total of four sets of RMB coins. On December 1, 1957, the People’s Bank of China officially issued the second set of RMB, in which coins were issued for the first time in China, including one cent, two cents and five cents, and were made of aluminum-magnesium alloy. This set of coins, also known as "hard coins", has been in circulation for the longest time in China and is still in circulation.

  The design and manufacture of this set of coins was carried out under the condition that the national economic strength was relatively weak and the coin-making technology, equipment and materials faced many difficulties. Nowadays, people basically don’t use pennies in their lives, but the casting and issuing of aluminum pennies is an important mark of RMB issuance, and it is also a historical witness of China’s economic development.

  The coins in the third set of RMB in China were issued on April 15th, 1980. There are four denominations: one dime, two cents, five cents and one yuan. The back of one yuan coin adopts the Great Wall pattern, so it is also called "Great Wall Coin". This set of coins stopped circulating in the market on July 1, 2000, which is the only coin that stopped circulating in China at present. "Great Wall Coin" has a small production quantity and a short circulation time. In some of these years, there was no public issuance of currency, only in the binding book. It is precisely because of its scarcity that the "Great Wall Coin" is sought after by collectors and the market price is high.

  With the growth of national economy, the circulation function of aluminum coins in the market is declining year by year, and the "Great Wall coins" are mostly deposited in the collection field. The market urgently needs a new set of "round and dime coins" to alleviate the pressure of money demand. On June 1st, 1992, China issued the fourth set of coins in RMB, which was designed with flower patterns for the first time. The main landscape patterns on the back of corner 1, corner 5 and 1 yuan were chrysanthemum, plum blossom and peony respectively, commonly known as "old three flowers" in the industry. Among them, 1 yuan coins are made of "nickel-plated steel core", which opens the history of large-scale use of nickel-plated steel core materials to make coins in China.

  In the 1990s, with the rapid development of national economy, the demand for cash is increasing day by day. In addition, the rapid development of automation technology and fine processing industry, and the popularity of automatic vending system all put forward new requirements for the quality and quantity of coins in circulation. The fifth set of RMB coins in China was issued one after another on October 16th, 2000. The name of "People’s Bank of China" was adopted on the front for the first time, and orchids, lotus flowers and chrysanthemums were the main motifs on the back of corner 1, corner 5 and 1 yuan respectively. This set of coins is also called "New Three Flowers".

  A coin, between square inches, is the epitome and witness of China’s increasing comprehensive national strength, and it is also an important carrier of condensing national traditional culture.

  Return: Weighing and Recovery in Commercial Banks

  When new coins are issued, old coins are returned. At about 10: 00 am on October 10th, a convoy carrying coins recovered from the bus company drove into the reservoir area at the North Branch of Shanghai Branch of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. The escort handed over the coins to the warehouse staff, and then the coins were sent to the sorting workshop.

  In the workshop, the staff will pour coins into the sorting machine, and the machine will identify the coins, and the damaged coins, counterfeit coins and game coins will be automatically ejected. The staff told the reporter that the machine’s criteria for judging whether coins are qualified include diameter, thickness and resistance. Coins that meet the circulation requirements will be automatically rolled, boxed and boxed, and then the bank will put them on the market again, and the unqualified coins will be handed over to the People’s Bank of China for destruction.

  Jin Lieqi, president of the North District Sub-branch of ICBC Shanghai Branch, said that his sub-branch collects about 500,000 coins every day, and bus companies, temples and other places collect a large amount of coins. "Recycled coins are calculated according to weighing, and there may be a small error, but they are basically the same. Counting one by one is not realistic in terms of time and cost."

  It is worth noting that with the development of mobile payment such as Alipay and WeChat, the demand for coins is decreasing. Jin Lieqi told reporters that the bank puts in 300,000 to 350,000 coins every day, and large shopping malls, supermarkets and hospitals are places with a large amount of coins. This year, the amount of coins dropped by 5% to 10%. "In the past, every summer was the peak of coin delivery, because the consumption of cold drinks and fruits was strong, but now small traders rarely go to the counter to exchange coins."

  The amount of coins returned is greater than the amount put in. What about the backlog of coins? Jin Lieqi said that with the approval of the central bank, the bank began to put coins into other commercial banks on a pilot basis last year for horizontal adjustment in the same industry.

  This is part of the central bank’s promotion of coin self-circulation. Yu Weiqiang, director of the currency, gold and silver department of the Shanghai headquarters of the central bank, said that due to various reasons, the amount of coins deposited in China is large, and a large number of coins are left in the hands of ordinary people, resulting in a waste of social resources.

  "The central bank requires commercial banks to speed up the self-circulation of coins, activate the deposited currency, and increase the delivery of machinery in the delivery and withdrawal links, including coin changers, sorters, and rolling equipment, which facilitates the people to exchange coins nearby and improves the efficiency of financial services." Yu Weiqiang said.

Promoting urban green development by low-carbon treatment of domestic garbage

  The goal of "double carbon" puts forward new requirements for municipal solid waste treatment and high-quality urban development. The low-carbon treatment of domestic waste is an important livelihood project, and it is the key support to accelerate the overall green transformation of economy and society and promote the green and high-quality development of cities. The Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Establishment and Improvement of a Green and Low-carbon Circular Economic System issued by the State Council has clearly defined the treatment of domestic waste. "peak carbon dioxide emissions Action Plan before 2030" clearly puts forward to "vigorously promote the reduction and recycling of domestic waste". In the whole process from the generation, collection, removal and final treatment of municipal solid waste, there is a carbon emission that can not be ignored, which is an important aspect that can not be ignored for the city to steadily promote carbon neutrality in peak carbon dioxide emissions. Therefore, it is of great significance to accelerate the low-carbon treatment of municipal solid waste, and there is great potential for carbon emission reduction in the whole process from domestic waste production to treatment.

  

  At present, due to the unreasonable and low-carbon production and lifestyle, the amount of urban garbage is still growing rapidly. To strengthen the low-carbon treatment of municipal solid waste, we should adopt a more scientific and reasonable technical and policy path, start with source reduction, reduce the generation of kitchen waste, paper and plastic waste, control the carbon emission in the garbage recovery and removal process, and effectively reduce the carbon emission in the whole life cycle of municipal solid waste, which will be more helpful to promote the carbon emission reduction of urban life, promote the green and high-quality development of cities, and accelerate the realization of the "double carbon" goal.

  

  Reduce with kitchen waste

  Be a prerequisite

  

  Kitchen waste usually accounts for more than half of municipal solid waste and contains a lot of water, which is the prerequisite and important source to promote the low-carbon treatment of municipal solid waste. If domestic garbage is mixed with other garbage, it will seriously affect the post-treatment efficiency, reduce the energy recovery efficiency and increase the carbon emission during the treatment. Reducing kitchen waste from the source is the key path to reduce the carbon emission of municipal solid waste. First of all, we should actively promote clean vegetables to enter the city, and guide enterprises to complete vegetable grading, cutting and cleaning in vegetable production areas as far as possible through publicity and guidance, financial subsidies and technical improvement, so as to reduce the amount of kitchen waste entering the city from the source. Secondly, the enterprise responsibility system should be established, and the responsibilities of vegetable wholesale and retail enterprises, food processing enterprises and catering enterprises in the reduction of kitchen waste should be clearly defined, and the corresponding rewards and punishments should be given to the degree of completion of enterprises, so as to maximize the on-site disposal of garbage and reduce the generation rate of kitchen waste to a minimum. Third, promote the special channels and equipment for kitchen waste treatment in key enterprises of kitchen waste, reduce the water content of kitchen waste and reduce the difficulty of final treatment. Fourth, encourage citizens to control the total amount of food they buy each time, with the principle of eating enough, eating well and not wasting; Encourage citizens to implement the CD-ROM action, pay attention to health and wellness, avoid waste on the tip of the tongue, and do a good job in special recycling of household kitchen waste.

  

  Reduce plastic waste with waste paper

  Be a key area

  

  Waste paper and plastics are the fastest growing parts of municipal solid waste, and they are also the types of waste with the highest carbon content per unit mass. Because both of them are industrial products, they will also produce a lot of life-cycle carbon emissions in their production process. The rapid growth of paper plastics will bring great hidden dangers to control the carbon emission of domestic garbage. From the aspects of product design, manufacturing and use, it is a long-term strategy to strictly control the production of paper plastic waste. First of all, the producer responsibility system should be established. From the perspective of product design, the corresponding reduction principles and targets should be formulated for product design and production enterprises. Consumer goods and product packaging design and production enterprises should be required to minimize the use of paper, plastic and other packaging products in product design, and the packaging design should be as conducive to recycling as possible. Secondly, reduce carbon emissions in the production process of plastic paper, actively innovate the production process, adopt low-carbon production process, and reduce energy consumption. Thirdly, reduce the garbage generated during the use of paper plastic products, promote enterprises and institutions to realize paperless office, and really reduce the use of paper in the office process; Promote consumer enterprises and consumers to reduce the use of paper plastic products such as disposable plates through policies such as separate charges for disposable tableware; Encourage the use and promotion of degradable corn plastics and biological products by reducing the production water fee.

  

  To strengthen the classification of domestic waste.

  Be an important starting point

  

  Carrying out domestic waste classification is the only way to reduce urban environmental pollution, reduce resource and energy consumption, build a good living environment, and promote the green, high-quality and sustainable development of the city. We should scientifically guide residents to strengthen the classification of domestic waste, reduce the negative impact on the ecological environment, improve the utilization rate of resources, and form a green and low-carbon lifestyle. Scientific classification and recovery of domestic waste is a necessary way for recycling resources and low-carbon treatment at the end, which can effectively improve the recycling rate of resources and reduce carbon emissions. We should speed up the establishment and improvement of the incentive system for domestic waste sorting and recycling, encourage more enterprises to participate in waste sorting, recycling operation and technological innovation, and provide life services such as door-to-door sorting to realize the life cycle service of waste recycling; Establish an incentive mechanism for urban residents’ garbage sorting, introduce and improve the point system, and realize garbage recycling through mobile phone applications, so as to obtain corresponding points and stimulate the enthusiasm and initiative of citizens to participate in sorting and recycling; Introduce new garbage sorting equipment, such as smart trash can, intelligent induction broadcasting system, "bag breaker" and automatic sorting station, to help residents realize garbage sorting more conveniently. At the same time, establish a strict punishment mechanism, and strengthen supervision and punishment for acts that do not classify garbage as required. In addition, strengthen the education and publicity of domestic waste classification and green and low-carbon development, so that the concept of green, low-carbon and environmental protection is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

  

  Carbon emission reduction by garbage removal

  Be the key link

  

  Carbon emission reduction of garbage removal is an indispensable key link in garbage disposal and an important hub connecting garbage classification, recycling and final disposal. We should promote the development and use of new energy transportation equipment, replace closed garbage transportation vehicles, and effectively reduce the carbon emissions of transportation equipment. Improve the efficiency of intermediate transportation of garbage, systematically design the placement positions of trash cans, closed stations and transfer stations, optimize the garbage removal lines and methods, and establish a scientific and reasonable urban garbage removal system. Strengthen the environmental sanitation management of garbage transfer stations, improve the transfer efficiency of urban domestic garbage, encourage garbage recovery and removal enterprises to use big data technology to provide new garbage removal services such as online booking and door-to-door recycling, comprehensively optimize the garbage removal process, and promote the green and low-carbon garbage removal link.

  

  To innovate the final treatment method

  For strong support

  

  As the most direct carbon emission link in the process of domestic waste recycling, the classification degree, water content and treatment method of waste will affect the carbon emission of final treatment. We should take innovative final treatment methods of municipal solid waste as a strong support, adopt advanced, green and low-carbon treatment technologies and methods, speed up the elimination of the traditional simple landfill mode, and effectively promote the recycling and low-carbon treatment in the final treatment process by more resource-intensive, green and low-carbon, recycling and eco-friendly treatment methods. On the one hand, we should rationally plan and establish a comprehensive domestic waste treatment base, optimize the final treatment structure of domestic waste such as incineration power generation, sanitary landfill and biological fermentation, realize zero landfill of municipal waste as soon as possible, introduce new generation information technologies such as big data and artificial intelligence to enhance the intelligent level of waste treatment equipment, improve waste terminal treatment equipment and improve the efficiency of waste terminal treatment. On the other hand, we should improve the power generation efficiency of garbage incineration and biogas production efficiency by fermentation, introduce special equipment such as kitchen waste pretreatment and low calorific value garbage incineration which are more suitable for classified garbage treatment, and use new treatment technologies such as garbage pyrolysis and plasma treatment to improve the energy output efficiency of electricity, biogas and hot steam, realize smarter and more efficient energy recycling, promote traditional energy substitution, reduce carbon emissions in energy production, and promote urban green, low-carbon and high-quality development.
