komplikaatioriskeista

Komplikaatioriskeista is a concept that originates from the currency circulation system in Finland. It refers to the physical notes and coins that are still in circulation, but are no longer used as a means of payment or are only used in exceptional circumstances.

Prior to the introduction of electronic payments, households and businesses held a certain amount of cash for their daily transactions. These notes and coins, which had circled through many hands before being deposited back into banks, were called "komplikaatioriskeista". The term reflects the idea that these coins and notes had undergone a complete cycle of circulation and had become a part of the turbulent flow of money.

In Finland, this concept gained particular significance during the economic crisis of the 1990s, when the use of cash became less frequent as electronic payments gained prominence. As a result, the komplikaatioriskeista began to accumulate in banks and cash machines, becoming a sort of "through-flow" of money.

Today, the term "komplikaatioriskeista" is more of a nostalgic reference to the pre-electronic payment era, when cash was a more important part of daily life. The concept also highlights the idea that money, in all its forms, is constantly in motion and never stays in one place for too long. The term "komplikaatioriskeista" has become a subject of interest and discussion among economists, historians and those intrigued by the nature of currency and its impact on modern society.
