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.

Russian money – русские деньги 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 after- hours 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 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. 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.

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.
