Redomination

I've removed this statement:

By calculating the product of all six redenominations, it is seen that a pre-1921 ruble is equal to 2×10¹⁶ current rubles.

which surely can't be accurate. The current total money supply according to the Bank of Russia is about 3x10^13 rubles.

Anyway, the 1947 change wasn't even a "redenomination" in any usual sense -- salaries remained more or less the same, private bank accounts of 3,000 rubles or less were untouched, and some prices actually decreased. It was only cash savings hoarded under the mattress and amounts over 3,000 rubles in private bank accounts which were "redenominated" (i.e. had most of their value decreed out of existence)...

Tselkovyi

Origins of "tselkovyi" ("целковый") name, ? Mikkalai 17:59, 2 Jun 2004 (UTC)

I can find only one original reference to this and wonder how accurate it is. It may be a mistake in spelling from converting the Cyrillics so have not deleted Dainamo 21:19, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)

ЦЕЛКОВЫЙ - русское разговорное название металлического рубля.

TSELKOVYI - russian spoken name of metal rouble.

ЦЕЛКОВЫЙ from целый(russian whole or safe),it mean not changed to copecs, one rubl as one coin.Sorry for my bad english90.150.141.21 20:04, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
целый can be translated in English as "solid", "monolithic". Handful of coins that sum up as 100 kopeks makes 1 ruble, but this is not "Tselkovyi".95.153.169.144 (talk) 17:10, 17 October 2014 (UTC)SomeUser

"Water-mellon"

Another slang name for 1 billion is "water-mellon" (cyrillic: арбуз), since it is a fruit, significantly bigger than lemon (1 million). Used to other currencies as well ("water-mellon of bucks" = $1000,000,000). 95.153.169.144 (talk) 17:10, 17 October 2014 (UTC)SomeUser

Abkhazia

read http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Abkhazia infobox it clearly says de facto 81.235.159.105 (talk) 12:58, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

Read this source (Unfortunately only in Russia so you might have to translate it first). It clearly talks about Abkhazia officially using the ruble. --Leftcry (talk) 18:41, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
