<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSorbo, post: 3534022, member: 56370&quot;]During my first visit to Russia, on a study abroad program in 1993, the ruble was trading at around 1000 per dollar.&nbsp; However, the pay phones only took the 0.15 (15 kopek) coins.&nbsp; Because their nominal value was practically zero they could not be found in circulation even though they were needed.&nbsp; To meet the need, food kiosks sold them for 15 rubles each.&nbsp; Early post-Soviet free enterprise in action.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
