About Russian Ruble ()

The Russian Ruble (RUB, ISO 4217 code 643, symbol ₽) is the official currency of the Russian Federation and the disputed territories of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Issued by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation (Bank of Russia, est. 1990 as successor to the Soviet-era Gosbank). Subdivided into 100 kopeks (kopecks).

Coins: 1 kop, 5 kop, 10 kop, 50 kop, ₽1, ₽2, ₽5, ₽10. Russia redenominated 1:1000 on January 1, 1998. Following the February 24, 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine, RUB initially crashed (~₽120 per USD March 2022), then recovered to a managed ~₽60-80 per USD range under Bank of Russia capital controls + mandatory export-revenue conversion, but has weakened to ₽90+ per USD by 2024. Russia was disconnected from SWIFT for major banks (Sberbank, VTB, etc.) and faces extensive Western sanctions.

About Tajikistani Somoni (SM)

The Tajikistani Somoni (TJS, ISO 4217 code 972, symbol SM or сом) is the official currency of the Republic of Tajikistan, issued by the National Bank of Tajikistan (NBT, est. 1991). Subdivided into 100 diram. Banknotes: 1 SM, 3 SM, 5 SM, 10 SM, 20 SM, 50 SM, 100 SM, 200 SM, 500 SM (the highest denomination; current series features Tajik historical figures — Ismail Samani — the founder of the Samanid Empire and namesake of the currency — Bobojon Gafurov, Mirzo Tursunzoda, Sadriddin Aini, Abuabdullo Rudaki); coins: 5 diram, 10 diram, 20 diram, 25 diram, 50 diram, 1 SM, 2 SM, 3 SM, 5 SM.

The economy is heavily dependent on remittances from migrant workers in Russia (~30% of GDP — among the world's highest remittance-to-GDP ratios). Tajikistan was the only post-Soviet Central Asian country to experience a civil war (1992-1997).
