<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 93325, member: 4373&quot;]It seems that the restrikes were only offered as foreign payments. What seems odder was that the reason why it was minted from 1977-1982 was because of the Moscow Olympics. I have some pamplets that seem to suggest that these were minted in occurance with the Olympics commemorative coins and some of these chervonets were to be sold as souvenirs at restricted areas. As of where, I am not too sure, and I would like to know more. </p><p><br /></p><p>But as you remember how gold prices went to ridicious prices in 1980, I am sure that was more than enough reason as of why these disappeared quite quickly when it was issued.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
