Entry Description

As the popularity of e-payment,people accumulated spare coins which broke the circulation chain.Oval Design created an innovative solution based on the concept of 'mobile bank at your doorstep' to reduce the need for minting new coins.The design was developed from the chassis of a 10-tonnes vehicle equipped with automatic coin counting machines,highly secure teller counters and a wheelchair platform for public to exchange coins for banknotes,add value to e-payment cards or even donate to a charity.Within 1 year,over 110 million coins with a value of HK$116 million were collected.
