The National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic issued these criteria to guide cashiers in manually sorting and processing banknotes and coins into defined categories of "worn" and "damaged." The document establishes precise physical thresholds for classification, specifying exact measurements for stains, tears, holes, missing corners, and hologram defects that render currency unsuitable for circulation. It further mandates a 2% tolerance allowance in sorted banknote bundles to account for minor deviations from the established wear standards.
