Rubles are the monetary unit of several countries, all of which are part of the former Soviet Union. It is primarily used in Russia, where it is the national currency. The word "rubles" refers to the plural form of ruble, the basic unit of currency in these countries. It is denoted by the symbol "₽" or the abbreviation "RUB."
The ruble is subdivided into 100 kopecks, which are similar to cents in the American currency system. Originally introduced in the 13th century, the ruble has undergone several changes throughout history. Currently, the ruble is issued by the Bank of Russia, which regulates its circulation and value.
As a currency, rubles are widely accepted in Russia and are used for various transactions, including buying goods, services, and settling debts. They can be exchanged for other currencies in financial institutions, currency exchange offices, and banks. The exchange rate of rubles can fluctuate based on various factors, including economic conditions and government regulations.
In addition to Russia, rubles are also used in the partially recognized republics of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, as well as the unrecognized republics of Donetsk and Luhansk in Ukraine. However, the rubles in these regions have limited international recognition and are not widely accepted outside their respective territories.
The word "rubles" comes from the Russian currency "рубль" (rúbl'), which is derived from the Old Russian word "рубити" (rúbiti), meaning "to chop" or "to cut". This etymology originates from the practice of chopping a piece of a silver bullion, also known as a grivna, which was used as a currency unit in medieval Russia. Gradually, the name "rúbl'" was adopted for the silver coins that replaced the grivna in the 15th century, and it has been the main currency unit in Russia ever since.
