The Russian Currency is the Ruble. The paper currency is in denominations of 10, 50, 100, 500, 1000 and 5000. There are 10, 5, 2, and 1 Ruble coins, and the 10 Ruble coin has pretty much replaced the 10 Ruble paper note in circulation. There are even smaller coins called Kopeks in 1,5,10 and 50, but they are just about worthless, and I never saw any of them. At the time we were there, we approximated that 1000 rubles equalled $15.50.
