<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSorbo, post: 3305258, member: 56370&quot;]Here’s my 10 Ruble note that just came in the mail on Friday:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]875982[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]875983[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This one had a low survival rate as it was later exchanged 10 to 1 for the 1961 series rubles that circulated up until the collapse of the USSR.</p><p><br /></p><p>You are correct that 10 rubles was a lot of money back in 1909.&nbsp; However, that series was printed until and even after the Czar’s abdication in 1917.&nbsp; By that time the printing presses were cranking out rubles 24/7 and the currency was quickly losing value through hyperinflation.&nbsp; Just like with the German notes from the same period, that left us with lots of nice examples like yours to collect.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
