Rare bills and coins

Most people estimate Russian money in terms of the means by which you can pay for a particular product. According to this approach, the cost of a note or a coin is equal to the nominal value written on it. However, there is a fairly large number of banknotes, whose value is much higher than indicated.

An example of banknotes of interest for collecting, you can call 100-ruble banknotes, issued for the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi. These notes were issued in a very limited edition and almost instantly scattered, settling in the hands of collectors. Now it is not possible to find such a banknote in circulation.

Collectible coins and bills have a greater real value than the nominal value indicated on them, so that such money, falling into the hands of a knowledgeable person, will never go into consumption, as usual. People either leave them to themselves if they are keen on collecting rare money, or try to sell them to collectors at the most attractive price.
