When we came to Russia the money was one of the confusing things to over come. Finally we are
understanding a little better, so here is the money lesson. BUT first a little
history according to the internet..........
Did you know that in 1704 Russia was the
first country in the world to introduce a decimal monetary
system?
Here are pictures of the paper money or notes -
All of the above are rubles = 6660 which is about $200.47
More history from the internet -
The 5 ruble note is very rare now. It is now out of
print, although it is still legal tender.
The 10 ruble note is no longer printed starting January
2010. Replaced by the 10 ruble coin
Ruble Coins
1, 2, 5 and 10
Kopek Coins
5, 10 and 50
More History from the Internet -
1 and 5 kopek
coins are rarely used (especially the 1 kopek coin) due to their low value and
in some cases may not be accepted by stores or individuals. In some cases, the
10 kopek coin is refused
This is all of our change, Kopek and Rubles totalling 54 Ruble 35 Kopek or $1.64
Great money and history lesson....... You Rock
