On October 20, members of the Youth Council of the Coordination Center visited the Museum of the Bank of Russia and learned many interesting facts about the history of the national currency. The excursion was called “Russian Ruble: Milestones of History.”
Museum guide Tatyana Grekova spoke about the history of the Russian currency, as well as how Arab and Old Russian coins are related to each other, why pieces were cut off from the hryvnia, why money was sewn onto clothes, and why women’s profiles on coins were minted more often than men’s.
After the excursion, participants were given the opportunity to test their knowledge in a competition. The most erudite received well-deserved prizes!
