<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 1268213, member: 12789&quot;]Right, the Russian ruble had a series of devaluations from the 19th century and into the 19th century.&nbsp; Any money that has been devalued doesn&#039;t exactly attract wide usage - and in fact - people will avoid taking it.&nbsp; In a similar vain the Russians, British, French were striking the Austrian Maria Theresa thaler of 1780 well into the 20th century as it was used in the Middle East.&nbsp; I know for a fact they were still being used in Yemen for certain transactions late in the 20th century - people I know with a petroleum company remembered seeing the coins in markets.&nbsp; Another coin the Russians made for trade was the &quot;Bulgarian&quot; 4 ducats in the late 19th century and early 20th century.&nbsp; These latter coins are now quite rare, and usually have a hole in them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
