The ruble is the official currency of Transnistria. It is divided into 100 "kopecks". Since Transnistria is an internationally unrecognized country, its currency has no ISO 4217 code. However, unofficially some Transnistrian organisations such as Agroprombank and Gazprombank used the code PRB as the ISO 4217.

History

First ruble, 1994

The first Transnistrian ruble was introduced in 1994 by the Transnistrian Republican Bank as the national currency of the unrecognised state of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic. The currency consisted of Soviet and Russian banknotes of dated 1961-1992 with a special adhesive stamp. These notes replaced unstamped Soviet and Russian banknotes at par.

econd ruble, 1994-2000

The first, provisional issues were replaced in August 1994 by a new ruble, equal to 1000 old rubles. This currency consisted solely of banknotes and suffered from high inflation, necessitating the issuance of notes overstamped with higher denominations. Although issued in 1994, some notes (50 to 5000 rubles) were issued dated 1993.

Third ruble, 2000-

In 2000, a new ruble was introduced at a rate of 1 new ruble = 1 000 000 old rubles. This new currency consists of both coins and banknotes. The current exchange rate is about 10 TR to the Euro.

Current issues

Coins are of 1 to 50 kopecks and are made from aluminium or copper-zinc and are similar to Soviet-era coinage.

Notes are issued by the Transnistrian Republican Bank ("Приднестровский Республиканский Банк") in denominations of 1 to 500 rubles.

NOTE: A new issue in 2007 replaced the above banknotes of denominations 1 to 100 rubles. The new notes have the same themes but a new design.
