Russian money – русские деньги
Brief history of Russian money
• Russian Ruble is the official currency of Russian Federation. It is also used as a
medium of exchange in many former soviet republics. Russian ruble is one of the
world's oldest currencies. It appeared in 15th century during the so-called Silver Bum.
At the time, Russian coins were made of silver. Soaring demand for silver across
continental Europe resulted in growth of value of Russian silver coin to a point when
they were no longer useful for purchases. People started splitting coins in halves.
Russian word for "split" or "cut" is rubit'' and the half coins were called rubles. Even
though Russian coins no longer come in halves, the name stuck on.
•
During the czar rule Russian rubles were one of the worlds highly valued currencies
as they were backed by serious stockpiles of gold. During the Bolshevik revolution,
most of that gold was shipped out of Russia, so the Soviet ruble's did not have much
value.
From Soviet Ruble to Russian Ruble
• Democratic revolution of 1991 led to abandonment of price fixing. "The
shock therapy" resulted in immediate plunge of national currency as
former soviet republics continued to print Russian rubles and exchange
them for Russian goods creating inflation in Russia and devaluing its
currency. Inflation was as high as 1000% per year! By mid 90s Russian
authorities announced that they would no longer allow now formally
independent countries to print Russian national currency. Russian ruble
grew steadily until 1998 when the Asian financial crisis moved on to
Russia. Value of ruble dropped four times overnight and has not changed
ever since.

• Exchange offices are typically located in the city center and around tourist
areas. Rates at different currency exchange booths vary somewhat, usually
within a fifty-kopeeck range, so unless you plan on exchanging thousands
there's little point in running around looking for the best rate, though afterhours and weekend exchanges tend to offer lower rates.
•
Whenever you hand hard currency over to someone, it is quite common for
the bills to be checked for authenticity individually by a variety of techniques.
Don't take this as an insult as counterfeit money has proliferated in the
country over the last couple of years. Torn, well-worn, heavily written on, or
faded currency gets turned down in almost all cases. Exchange booths are
very often located in shops selling pricier items (electronics, fashion clothes,
cars) as well as the hotels.
Russian money – русские деньги
• In order to exchange money you are supposed to present your passport (a
photocopy will do) or some other form of identification, although having
nothing to show is not usually a problem. You will be given a slip recording
the transaction which you should keep with your customs declaration just in
case some customs officer decides to actually check how much money you
are taking out.
• Both banks and exchange booths will change most major currencies into
rubles at the posted rates of exchange. Fees and commissions are often
posted at the exchange window. There is a 0.5% tax on all currency exchanges.

DO’s and DON’Ts in Russia
1. DO not smile at random people on the streets…They’ll get you wrong! Russians smile
and laugh a lot with the people they know…You’ll send a wrong message if you start
smiling at them while you are on the bus, walking, etc. Smiling while you are making
purchases is good though! 
2. DON’T get a taxi alone after going out…make sure that you have a ride with your
friends or get a taxi with them together!
3. DO bring some simple medications with you – tablets from headache etc. Even
though it’s very easy to buy a medicine in Russia, it’s always good to have some in case
of emergency…be careful though, TSA requires a prescription for most of the drugs!
Check out their website to be sure.
