During the time that the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics existed, there were practically no reforms in the financial sphere. Coins and paper bills existed unchanged for a long time. The government did not change the appearance of the money and its face value. In the USSR, banknotes remained for a long time the same as they were originally issued.
Innovation History
Mostly innovations in finance were carried out at the very beginning, when Soviet power was emerging . In the early 60s, paper bills were issued, which have been in use for three decades. The appearance of these notes did not change.
How much are banknotes of the USSR
It's difficult to talk about the value of banknotes of the last century. Much depends on when the coin was issued, what is its condition. If the condition of the banknote is good, then its value can reach 50,000 rubles. If a bill of the same denomination is preserved worse, then its value will vary from 5 to 10 thousand rubles. Banknotes of the USSR are still valued and remain one of the most expensive.
The collapse of the Russian Empire
After the collapse of the Russian Empire, a new era began in the history of our country. The first paper money in the Soviet Union appeared in 1921. Since it was planned to cancel the money in the new state of post-industrial society, the issued banknotes did not differ in quality or appearance. Such money in the country was in use until 1923.
With the beginning of 1922, new chervonets were introduced into the money circulation . Their introduction is associated with constant inflation in the country. Given the low standard of living, the population perceived this money as gold. Currency in this form lasted until 1947. In parallel with the gold coins, Soviet rubles began to be introduced.
In the period from 1924 to the beginning of the Second World War, not only paper rubles, but also paper pennies were in circulation.
The most expensive banknotes
Banknotes of the USSR, which were circulated earlier, are currently poorly preserved, but in any case you can find them.
The first place in terms of cost is taken by chervonets, which were released in 1928, in total there were 5 of them.
In second place are chervontsy, released in 1924, in total 3 of them.
In third place in value are the banknotes of the USSR with a face value of three rubles, issued in 1924.
It is quite difficult to find such coins and banknotes, but there is such a situation that somewhere in the old books they find banknotes of the USSR, they are in good quality, and their value can reach up to 100 thousand rubles.
Banknotes of the USSR 1967
After 1945, cash flows began to grow in the country. In order for the country's leadership to be able to ensure monetary accounting, a resolution was adopted on May 4, 1960 at the Council of Ministers. The date of adoption is called January 1, 1961: a change in the scale of prices was reported. The reform carried out in 1961, the main goal was to strengthen the ruble. Pure gold was added to the coin, but its amount was negligible.
New banknotes in denominations of 1, 3 and 5 rubles were issued. Coins were issued at that time by the State Treasury. In order to withdraw
old money from circulation, from January to April 1961 they were exchanged. At the same time, they changed money in a proportion of one to ten. This money was in circulation until 1991.
Banknotes of the Russian Empire
Under the reign of Sophia, silver pennies, money and half coins were minted. Pennies, as a rule, were issued for the purpose of economy. Since the penny was in circulation, it was hard for her to pay with big trade.
Under Peter I, four mints were opened , and the Kremlin yard worked the same way as before. In 1704, a series of silver coins appeared - in denominations of 3, 5, 10, 25, 50 kopecks and one ruble. All coins were inscribed, only Russian was used. Peter did not perceive comments that such coins would not be readable in foreign countries. He also said that he was concerned that money settled in our state.
Thus, the money that appeared in our country is of great value. The country has been going to this for a very long time.
Now coins of the time of the USSR are not so easy to buy, but numismatists can be found. Also, banknotes are displayed on various sites, their value varies depending on the quality and face value. Nowadays, coins and banknotes of the USSR are very appreciated.
In the Soviet Union, innovation was used, it was associated with the double-circuit nature of money circulation. There was a division of money into non-cash (they were used in industry) and cash used in the circulation of citizens.
