<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 1531701, member: 12789&quot;]In the end game, ie 1991 it was only way to legally take out coins out of the USSR - if you exchanged ruble notes and they had no valuta - hard currency, then they gave you these commemorative coins or sometimes I could find German marks in change from Beriozka stores.&nbsp; With my good Soviet era mindset though I brought out all the coins and banknotes, ie brand new 100 ruble notes I wanted though.&nbsp; So I have some commemoratives of the Soborii(cathedral?) and lots of USSR change.&nbsp; Then I have to stop my kids from buying these things for souvenirs when we are back there - go figure![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
