Soviet Ruble

The Soviet ruble or rouble (Russian: рубль, rublï, plural рубли́, rubli; Symbol: ₽; see below for other languages of the USSR) is the currency of the Soviet Union. One ruble was divided into 100 kopeks, (Russian: копе́йка, pl. копе́йки - kopeyka, kopeyki; Symbol: Ҝ).

The ISO 4217 code is NSR or 644; the former code, SUR, refers to the Old Soviet ruble.

The ruble is minted in Coins of Ҝ1, Ҝ2, Ҝ3, Ҝ5, Ҝ10, Ҝ15, ₽1/5, ₽1/4, ₽1/2, ₽1, ₽2, ₽3, ₽5, and ₽10 and in Banknotes of ₽15, ₽20, ₽25, ₽50, ₽100, ₽200, ₽500, and ₽1000.

Names in other Langauges
The Soviet currency has its own name in all Soviet languages, most quite different from its Russian designation. All banknotes had the currency name and their nominal printed in the languages of every Soviet Republic. This naming preserves the names of the interuion currencies; for example: Romanian for ruble and kopek are lei and ban as opposed to rublă and copeică. The current names of several currencies of Central Asia are simply the local names of the old union ruble.

Banknotes
The banknotes, despite being identical nationwide, have differing reverse designs depending on the note's value - the obverse design consists of the Flag and State Emblem of the Soviet Union, fragments of the national anthem, the ruble names, the value in Russian and English, and an inscription in Russian stating that counterfeiting banknotes is against the law.

Soviet banknotes are made of a polymer substrate called polypropylene, and are printed by Orell Füssli Security Printing of Zürich, Switzerland
