    Despite the fact that Kazakhstan was one of the last in the CIS to adopt its own currency, the republic nevertheless did not have temporary money like most post-Soviet countries. The same "money", but in the Kazakh way A group of designers to develop the appearance of the future national currency was assembled already in 1991, and it coped with its task in exactly one year.

  • Armenian Dram (AMD)

    There was a paradoxical situation in Armenia in 2006-2009: imports exceeded exports nearly four times, thus generating a considerable deficit in the trade balance, but the local dram only gained against the dollar, having strengthened by an unprecedented 50% against the USD during the whole period. The crisis of the Armenian dram "Dutch disease", which affected the Transcaucasian republic, was blatantly different from its generally accepted forms. The point is that in this case, the increase in the value of the national currency was not due to the export of raw materials, which Armenia lacks. The authorities of the country explain the rise of the dram with growth of private transfers from abroad, while opposition analysts point to an artificial overvaluation caused by limitation of money supply in...

  • Azerbaijani manat (AZN)

    The modern name of the Azerbaijani currency, manat, has been used in the country itself for almost a century, being an unofficial variant for the Soviet ruble among the people. Formation of the Azerbaijani manat After Azerbaijan received its independence, the local authorities decided not to re-invent the wheel, and leave the former name of the money in force. Put into circulation officially in 1992, the manat quickly pointed to the economic difficulties in the country, which was not able to transition to a market economy, as in most post-Soviet state formations. Hyperinflation, which swept over Azerbaijan, continued for about a decade, there was only a difference in the depreciation of the national currency.

  • Polish zloty

    The Polish zloty has served its country well, passing through periods of prosperity as well as long periods of oblivion. The term "zloty" was coined at the end of the 15th century, when they started calling it the equivalent of the Venetian ducat of 30 Polish groschens. Soon zloty became the measure of value and because of the ease of calculation knocked out from this position, as well as the Russian ruble in its time, the Ukrainian hryvnia.
