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). Banknotes: ₽5 (rare), ₽10 (replaced by coin), ₽50, ₽100, ₽200 (introduced October 2017), ₽500, ₽1000, ₽2000 (introduced October 2017), ₽5000 (the highest denomination); current 'New Generation' polymer-substrate hybrid notes introduced 2017+ feature Russian regional cities — Sevastopol on ₽200, Vladivostok on ₽2000. 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.
