Replacing worn-out or damaged Romanian banknotes and coins
The NBR ensures the replacement on demand, without any fee or commission, of Romanian banknotes and coins, issued and still in circulation, which are worn-out or unfit for money circulation (according to the Statute ). The submitted notes and coins are fully reimbursed (100% of the face value) even in the case of missing portions, within the legal limits, but only if they are unreservedly identifiable. Applicants cannot be reimbursed for banknotes and coins that lack more than 40% of their surface or that do not have all identification elements. The replacement will be carried out either at the dedicated counter in one of the mentioned branches or by post. Both in the case of exchanging notes and coins which are no longer legal tender and in that of replacing worn-out or damaged notes and coins, sent by applicants via mail, the postal charges for returning the cash to applicants will be borne by the NBR.
