On July 1, 2016, for the first time, citizens of the Republic will pick up new banknotes and coins. So far we have only seen sketches on the screens, but some idea is already taking shape.
Banknotes of seven denominations will appear in circulation: 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 rubles, and eight coins: 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 kopecks, 1 and 2 rubles.
The size of banknotes is not too different from those that we have become accustomed to since 2000 - 150 × 74 mm. The semantic content, in general, is the same: architecture, national patterns, but the design has become more “European”. This is understandable - in Europe, there is a manufacturer of banknotes that won the competition of the National Bank (where exactly - has not yet been reported).
It also follows from the statement that there are no plans to create a mint in Belarus, the production is too expensive, obviously not profitable for a small state. By the way, from the same source we managed to find out that the production of one banknote or coin ranges from 1 to 4 euro cents, i.e. coins of 1 kopeck, at the current rate, are almost half the cost.
It should be noted that both coins and banknotes were printed back in 2009, as evidenced by the signature of the then head of the National Bank P.P. current rules spelling. Inconsistencies are promised to be eliminated in the manufacture of the next batches of banknotes.
The money printed in 2009 could have been put into circulation earlier, but this was prevented by the global economic crisis and too high Belarusian economy in subsequent years. I am also glad that the costs of money production have already been incurred, although there remain costs for the exchange, changes in accounting, reconfiguration of ATMs and other equipment.
By the way, the question of the future operation of ATMs (especially during the transition period) is still open: only with new money or in parallel with the old ones? with or without coins?
Returning to the design of new money, we note that the images on seven banknotes are correct, i.e. alphabetically, distributed among the regions: five-ruble notes are dedicated to the Brest region; ten-rouble notes - Vitebsk; twenty - Gomel; banknote of fifty rubles - Grodno; hundred-ruble - Minsk; two-hundred-ruble - Mogilev region; and the largest of five hundred rubles - to the city of Minsk.
The reverse side of the banknotes is filled with historical and cultural symbols, already without explicit reference to the geography of the country and the image on the front side.
The design of the coins can be reminiscent of the metal money of the Soviet period, and the two-ruble note is made up of two metals of different colors, like the euro.
On the front side of all coins, the coat of arms of the Republic, on the back, national symbols. All banknotes are marked in 2009.
Not too much information about the new money has appeared, but something can be seen already now:
The largest bill of 500 rubles(5 million for today's money).
On the front side: National Library, Prokopovich's signature, year of issue, banknote denomination in numbers and words, a straight cross in the lower left corner, a rectangular sign resembling a door above it, the inscription "RB" on the right, translucent images and a metal strip for better counterfeit protection.
On the reverse side - the denomination in digits, the serial number of the banknote in two places, and a composition on the theme of literature: a quill, an inkwell, a book, as well as a flower and a fern branch. Probably, not all symbols on the new banknotes will be understandable to a simple layman, but they are certainly not accidental.
200 rubles- the general structure of the front and back sides remains the same, the color solution shifts towards purple. On the front side - the Mogilev Regional Art Museum named after P.V. Maslennikov, in the lower left corner, instead of a straight cross, there is an image of a rectangle above it, similar to a door.
On the reverse side - a collage on the theme of urban planning and crafts: the seal of Mogilev and a golden key, a tile, a forged lattice, images of houses.
100 ruble bill: The Radziwill Castle in Nesvizh, in the corner instead of a cross is a rhombus, above it is a rectangle.
On the reverse side there are musical instruments, Slutsk belts, the Batleyka puppet theater, a goat and a Christmas carol. The common theme is ethnography, folk holidays. The color scheme is closer to turquoise.
50 rubles- on the front side: Mir Castle, in the lower left corner there is a triangle, above it there is a picture similar to a “false window”, just like there are many in Mir Castle.
On the back - a composition on the theme of art: pen, paper, lyre, notes and laurel branches. Light green colors predominate in the design.
20 rubles. On the front side: the Rumyantsev-Paskevich Palace in Gomel, in the corner - a square, above it - a window.
On the reverse side: bell, Turov Gospel, carving, views of Turov in antiquity. The common theme is spirituality. The color of the banknote is rather sandy.
10 rubles. Front side: Church of the Transfiguration in Polotsk. An example of ancient Polotsk architecture of the 12th century, a contemporary of St. Euphrosyne of Polotsk. In the lower left corner is a circle, above it is an image of a tall window.
The main theme of the reverse side is enlightenment and printing. Depicted: Cross of Efrosinya of Polotsk, books, print of Francysk Skaryna. The color of the banknote is closer to blue with gold.
5 rubles- the smallest of the banknotes. On the front side - Belaya Vezha in Kamenets (Brest region) - a defensive structure of the 13th century, a rare example of the Romanesque style for Belarus. In the corner there is a “-” sign, above it is an element of the fortress wall.
The reverse side of the banknote is dedicated to ancient Slavic history, depicts a wheel, a leather belt, a reconstruction of the ancient fortified settlement Berestye. The general background is perhaps the color of ocher, brick.
Coins will also appear in circulation:
Coins of 1 and 2 rubles made of silver gray metal. 2 ruble has a yellow rim.
On the obverse (front side) of the coins there is the coat of arms of Belarus and the number "2009".
On the reverse (back side) there is a denomination and an ornament embodying the desire for happiness and freedom. These ornaments on 1 and 2 rubles are different, but the semantic load is the same.
Kopeks, depending on the denomination, are divided into two colors, as in the Soviet Union, although there is no exact match.
Small: 1, 2 and 5 kopecks- similar to copper 10, 20, 50 kopecks- golden hue.
From May 20, 2019, updated banknotes of the 2009 sample with a face value of 5 and 10 Belarusian rubles of 2019 will be put into circulation. This decision was made by Resolution of the Board of the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus dated April 24, 2019 No. 183 as part of the ongoing measures to replace the withdrawn from circulation old banknotes and optimization of the security complex of banknotes in circulation.

From July 1, 2016, new money will appear in Belarus. Yesterday a presidential decree on denomination was signed. Four zeros will be removed from the current money. Today representatives of the National Bank held a press conference on the denomination of the Belarusian ruble.
From the history. The appearance of Belarusian banknotes began with the collapse of the USSR. National Bank Republic of Belarus on May 25, 1992 issued paper banknotes in kopecks and rubles. According to the image of a hare on a ruble bill, Belarusian money was called "bunnies". Initially, when Belarusian banknotes were issued, 1 our ruble was equal to 10 Russian rubles.
And on July 24, 1993, the banknotes of the USSR and Russia were declared withdrawn and withdrawn from circulation.
On August 20, 1994, the government of the Republic of Belarus announced a 10-fold decrease in the value of Belarusian money. A bargaining chip for Belarus was not minted.
Although the settlement notes of the NBRB were not declared to be banknotes and were originally issued in addition to the main monetary unit- the Soviet, and later the Russian ruble, subsequent events made it possible to raise them to the rank of cash Belarusian rubles. In May 1994, by a resolution of the National of the Bank of the Republic of Belarus, the Belarusian ruble is recognized as the only legal tender on the territory of the Republic of Belarus, and in cash circulation - banknotes, called settlement notes.
5000000 rubles RB 1999.(For many it will be a surprise, but the bill is in excellent condition and a rare series and now costs a lot of money).
Since March 1, 1995, 50 kopecks, as well as 1, 3, 5 rubles, are being withdrawn from circulation due to depreciation. Representatives of the fauna of Belarus are depicted on banknotes from 1 to 100 rubles, and architectural images are placed on banknotes of higher denominations. A 5,000 ruble banknote dated 1992 was put into circulation in 1993, and a 10,000 banknote was skipped altogether, since 20,000 ruble banknotes were put into circulation in 1994. In 1998, due to the change in the state emblem and flag, the design of banknotes also changed. In 2000, a denomination was carried out, so three zeros were removed from banknotes.
In accordance with the Decree of the President of Belarus, on January 1, 2000, new banknotes of Belarus were put into circulation in denominations of 1, 5, 10, also 20, 50, 100, as well as 500, 1000 and 5000 rubles, and in 2001 - 10,000 rubles. , in 2002 - 20,000 rubles and 50,000 rubles, in 2005 - 100,000 rubles.
New money of the Republic of Belarus - July 1, 2016, Rubles, kopecks!
About new money. Approximately 600 million banknotes of the 2000 sample will be in circulation. At the same time, only 80 million new banknotes will be required to replace them, as well as 400 million coins, on new Belarusian banknotes There are architectural monuments, which is not on the euro, and in terms of color scheme, you can also consider dollars, which also change in this direction, when developing banknotes and making them, attention was paid, first of all, to security and recognition, as well as convenience for the population.
Features and value of banknotes The design of the banknotes was developed by the artists of the National Bank, as well as the concept of money. The manufacturer's employees and historians were invited to participate in the project. The new banknotes have six visible degrees of difference. In addition, there are many invisible levels of protection that are known only to banks. Moreover, some of these degrees are known only in the National Bank. The Deputy Chairman of the Board of the National Bank said that the cost of manufacturing one banknote or coin is 0.1-0.4 euros.
What to do with old money?
Until July 1, 2016, banknotes of the 2000 model currently in circulation will be the only legal tender for cash settlements in the Republic of Belarus. It will be possible to pay with current money until December 31, 2016 (for half a year, old and new money will be in parallel circulation and will be mandatory for acceptance when making all types of payments by all business entities without restrictions).
When and where to change new old money for new?
Old money can be exchanged for new money over the next five years in any amount without restrictions and without charging a commission.
- from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019 inclusive - in the National Bank, banks and non-banking credit and financial organizations The Republic of Belarus;
- from July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2021 inclusive - at the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus.
From January 1, 2022, banknotes of the 2000 sample will be considered invalid.
The largest bill - 500 rubles - how much?
Translated into today's money, 500 new rubles are equal to 5 million. Recall that today the largest bill is 200 thousand rubles. That is, many people from July 1, 2016 will be able to pay salaries in one bill.
In Belarus (the locals say "Belarus") the Belarusian ruble is in circulation. In mid-February 2017 at the rate of the National Bank of the Republic 100 Russian rubles cost a little less than 3.5 Belarusian. The exchange rate of the US dollar against the local currency at the same time was 1.97.
People call Belarusian money “bunnies”. In the 1990s, representatives of the local fauna were depicted on the first banknotes of independent Belarus, and there was a hare on the ruble bill. Now have Belarusian money not the first year new design, but the colloquial name has remained.
It is best to travel from Russia to Belarus with Russian rubles, and already in the country of arrival, change it to the local currency. This is advised by travel sites and people who have already visited the republic. The main reasons for this are as follows:
Belarus also conducts a free exchange american dollars or euro. But, of course, it is not worth buying these currencies specifically for the subsequent acquisition of "bunnies" - this is both unprofitable and unnecessary.
In addition to cash, it is worth taking with you to Belarus plastic card. If you have a card from one of the international payment systems, you can freely pay in many shops and restaurants. In major cities, cards are accepted almost everywhere.
It does not matter in what currency your card is issued: in Russian rubles, dollars or euros. You can just go with your "salary". You will make a purchase in Belarusian rubles, and your bank will deduct the amount in the currency of your account. Moreover, the conversion will take place at a preferential rate.
In addition, with the help Visa cards or MasterCard, you can exchange your "card" money for Belarusian rubles at local ATMs or cash points. Again, at a favorable rate. But pay attention: there is usually a commission for withdrawing money from a “non-native” ATM. Therefore, it makes sense to immediately cash out an impressive amount, and not a couple of hundred rubles.
Please note: if the card is a credit card, then a cash withdrawal fee will be required. And it's usually pretty big. Therefore, use a credit card only for settlements in the trading network, and go to an ATM with a debit card.
Knowledgeable tourists recommend sharing the money that you plan to take with you when traveling to Belarus. Put the main amount on plastic debit card so that you can then conveniently pay and withdraw money from it. And for small expenses, immediately upon arrival in the republic, purchase Belarusian rubles.
And it is better not to buy "bunnies" too much. If you do not have time to spend them during the trip, you will have to go to the exchanger with them again before leaving. And in Russia it will be much more difficult to sell Belarusian money.
In conclusion - advice from experienced travelers. Sometimes it is better if you already have some cash in your pocket when you arrive in the country. local currency. Just in case. Even if you are going to "fraternal" Belarus.
There will be no problem if you arrive by train or plane. At major railway stations and airports, you will be able to exchange Russian money for Belarusian, usually even at night.
But it is a completely different matter if you are traveling by car. And now, when the border of the two countries is crossed, some difficulty arises. For example, drinking water runs out, gasoline runs out, or a car gets stuck. And you are in countryside, where cards are not accepted and there are no exchangers.
To pay off where-Russian rubles will not work. Dollars or euros - too. Well, if you only agree with someone privately. Therefore, if you manage to buy some "bunnies" before a trip to Belarus - buy it.
Banknotes and coins of the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus, issued into circulation from July 1, 2016, are presented today on the website of the National Bank.
The general concept of the design of the new banknotes corresponds to the motto "May country - Belarus". Each banknote is dedicated to one of the regions of Belarus and the city of Minsk. Correspondence of the area to the denomination of banknotes is determined in alphabetical order. The image of the banknote of 5 rubles is dedicated to the Brest region, 10 rubles to the Vitebsk region, 20 rubles to the Gomel region, 50 rubles to the Grodno region, 100 rubles to the Minsk region, 200 rubles to the Mogilev region, 500 rubles to the city of Minsk. The design of the new banknotes of the 2009 sample retained continuity with respect to the banknote series of the 2000 sample in terms of the use of images of architectural and urban planning monuments, according to the website of the National Bank of Belarus. Since July 1, 2016 in total Seven denominations of banknotes will be put into circulation - 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500 rubles, and eight denominations of coins - 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 kopecks, as well as 1 and 2 rubles.
This is how the current 50,000 rubles will look like.
This bill is equal to the current 100 thousand rubles.
Instead of the current banknote of 200 thousand rubles.
If we had a denomination of 500 thousand rubles, this is how they would look after the denomination.
The equivalent of 1 million rubles.
Think of this bill as 2 million rubles.
This bill is equal to the current 5 million rubles.
Here 100, as well as 200 and 500 current rubles.
Equivalent to the current 1,000, 2,000 and 5,000
And this is 10 thousand and 20 thousand current rubles.
The denomination will be carried out from July 1, 2016 by replacing banknotes of the 2000 sample in circulation with banknotes and coins of the 2009 sample in the ratio of 10,000 Belarusian rubles in banknotes of the 2000 sample to 1 Belarusian ruble in banknotes of the 2009 sample. That is, taking into account the chosen scale of consolidation of the Belarusian ruble (1:10 000), the lowest denomination of the banknote currently in force - will be replaced by the lowest denomination of the new money series - 1 kopeck.
Before July 1, 2016 the only legal tender for cash settlements in the Republic of Belarus will be banknotes of the 2000 model currently in circulation.
July 1 to December 31, 2016 Banknotes of the 2000 sample, as well as banknotes and coins of the 2009 sample, will be in parallel circulation and will be mandatory for acceptance when making all types of payments by all business entities without restrictions.
Over the next five years - January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2021 inclusive - banknotes of the 2000 sample will be exchanged for banknotes of the 2009 sample in any amount without restrictions and without charging a commission.
At the same time, it will be possible to exchange old banknotes for new ones:
from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019 inclusive - in the National Bank, banks and non-bank financial institutions of the Republic of Belarus;
from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2021 inclusive - at the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus.
From January 1, 2022, banknotes of the 2000 sample will be considered invalid.
The decision on the denomination of the Belarusian ruble was made to improve monetary circulation, simplifying accounting and calculations, maintaining an optimal banknote structure money supply, significant reduction public spending for servicing cash circulation in the Republic of Belarus. The denomination process is technical in nature and will not affect the purchasing power of the Belarusian ruble, the exchange rate national currency towards foreign currencies and the actual rate of inflation.
So, From July 1, 2016, prices for goods and services will be recalculated taking into account the selected denomination scale - 1:10,000.
In other words, if before the denomination any commodity cost, for example, 100 000 rubles, then after the denomination, its price will be At the same time, in order to make it easier for buyers to adapt to such changes, for the period of parallel circulation of old and new banknotes, that is, in the period from July 1 to December 31, 2016, all business entities will be required to indicate two prices - old and new.
By a similar principle when conducting a denominationsalaries, pensions, scholarships, balances will be recalculated Money on the bank accounts, balance sheets of enterprises and institutions, etc.
It should be noted that preparations for the denomination in the Republic of Belarus took a rather long period. Thus, the new banknotes, which will be put into circulation on July 1, 2016, were made by order of the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus back in 2008. However, then, in connection with the global economic crisis and consequently worsening economic situation in our country, the denomination was postponed, and the produced banknotes were transferred to the Central Depository of the National Bank.
Taking into account the time of production, new Belarusian rubles have certain features. In particular, the banknotes of the 2009 sample put into circulation bear a facsimile of the signature of P.P. Prokopovich. In addition, the new 50-ruble banknote bears the inscription “pyatsdzesyat”, which does not comply with the current Belarusian spelling rules. In accordance with the Law of the Republic of Belarus dated July 23, 2008 No. 420-Z “On the rules of Belarusian spelling and punctuation”, this word should be written through the letter “ya” in the second syllable - “pyatdzyasat”.
More than two years have passed since the denomination, we almost forgot what the old money looked like, got used to the new size banknotes and almost stopped losing coins from our pockets. As it became known today, the board of the National Bank will order additional printing of new money in the next two years.
Today, the National Bank announced that in 2019-2020 it will reprint certain denominations of banknotes and re-mint some denominations of coins. Yesterday, the president signed special decree No. 380. He amends the previous denominational decree.
The National Bank explains: the service life of small denomination banknotes is short, so the number of dilapidated banknotes has increased, which means they need to be replaced. 10 rubles suffer the most.
- Starting from October 2017, the receipt of dilapidated banknotes in denominations of 5 and 10 rubles increased by 3 and 2 times, respectively,- explains the regulator. - Since December 2017, the supply of dilapidated 20-ruble banknotes has more than doubled. As for coins, coins of small denominations, primarily 1 and 2 kopecks, are the most in demand. mi and are not returned to the cash desks of the National Bank. At the same time, their issuance from the cash desks of the National Bank is constantly growing.
The regulator notes that, on average, banknotes and coins of small and medium denominations serve from 1 to 3 years.
Recall that the manufacturer of Belarusian banknotes is the British De La Rue company. Coins were minted at once by two mints - Lithuanian and Slovak. The production of one banknote and a coin took from 1 to 4 euro cents. Whether these companies will print and re-mint Belarusian money is still unknown.
No. The National Bank reassures: it regularly orders the missing banknotes and coins - this is a common practice of the central banks of the world. And this is done in order to provide the economy with cash.
- Additional production of cash does not mean an increase in the money supply, since their release into circulation leads to the transfer of funds from non-cash form in cash, as banks transfer money for received banknotes National Bank their non-cash equivalent,- adds a regulator.
- In world practice, small banknotes are mostly used as change, have a short service life and therefore require constant replacement. Thus, the average life of a banknote of 5 euros is 13 months, banknotes of 1 US dollar - 22 months, banknotes of 50 Russian rubles - 8.3 months,- provides statistics controller.
The National Bank says that in 2019 banknotes in denominations of 5 and 10 rubles will be printed, and in 2020 we will see new twenties and fifties.
The regulator wants the new banknotes to look a little different. Firstly, the images on the front sides of the banknotes will change, their names will be signed.
- Images of architectural structures will be brought into line with the current appearance, - reports the regulator.
Recall that the banknote of five rubles depicts the Kamenets tower, on the 10-ruble note - the Polotsk Transfiguration Church of the Savior, on the twenty - the palace of the Rumyantsevs and Paskeviches and on the fifty - the Mir Castle.
Also on the new banknotes there will no longer be the details of the “Foreman Prajlennya” and the facsimile signature of the former chairman of the board, Petr Petrovich Prokopovich. An era is passing. concludes the regulator.
- Banknotes of the 2009 model will remain legal tender,- says the National Bank and promises to describe in detail all their nuances and features before putting new banknotes into circulation.
Recall that now there are 7 denominations of banknotes in circulation - 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 rubles and 8 denominations of coins - 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 kopecks, as well as 1 and 2 Belarusian rubles.
