Is there a 10,000 banknote of rubles in Russian. New money and the country's economy

In 2014-2015 on the Web, one could meet a lot of discussions about the introduction of new large banknotes with a face value of 10,000 rubles by the Central Bank of Russia. Now, after a few years, we can easily figure out, looking at these disputes in retrospect, which of those news was official information, and what a newspaper duck, as well as find out what new banknotes will soon appear in our wallets.

The LDPR party, not the Central Bank of Russia, initiated the issue of the 10,000 ruble note in 2014. Aleksey Didenko, first deputy head of the liberal faction, presented to the public the design of new banknotes, developed by order of the party. You can see them in the photo appearance- the main sights of Sevastopol and the whole Crimea are depicted on the banknotes, incl. a monument to the legendary General Nakhimov and the Orthodox Vladimir Cathedral. Photos with mock-ups quickly spread across the Runet - some cunning users even tried to print them and pay with the fruits of their resourcefulness.

According to representatives of the Liberal Democratic Party, the issuance of thematic banknotes of 10,000 rubles dedicated to Crimea is a reflection in the history of the memorable 2014, when the peninsula and the heroic city of Sevastopol again became part of Russia, their historical homeland. At the same time, MP A. Didenko told reporters that the issue of "Crimean" banknotes is a great opportunity not only to feel the reunification with Crimea spiritually, but also to feel this event materially - in your wallet.

New banknote of 10,000 rubles: fake news

In addition to the official project proposed by the liberals, in the same Runet in 2014-2015. duck news wandered about a different design of ten-thousandth notes. Many Internet users have seen messages about the imminent introduction of yellow banknotes dedicated to the sights of Sochi.

The other fake news was the imminent release central bank in Russia banknotes of 10,000 rubles, dedicated to the ancient city of Ryazan. Executed by unknown designers, the layout was a banknote of a turquoise hue. On its front side, in the foreground, was a monument to the poet Sergei Yesenin against the backdrop of the Ryazan Kremlin. Here, on the right side of the image, the coat of arms of the city is also visible. On reverse side a panorama was visible with a bridge across the Trubezh River. According to the authors of the news, the need for such a bill arose due to the growth in size average salary in RF.

Official response of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation

The Central Bank denied the news related to the imminent release of 10,000 rubles notes, calling them nothing more than rumors. Georgy Luntovsky, first deputy chairman of this department, noted that the issue of issuing banknotes of such a large denomination will be relevant only when the inflation rate in the Russian Federation drops to 2-3% per year. The banker suggested paying attention to the fact that monthly income far from all Russian citizens exceed the face value of such a bill, so its issue seriously discredits them. In addition, such a large banknote can be a real boon for especially talented counterfeiters.

Also, G. Luntovsky, in his official response to the media, assured journalists that new banknote 10,000 rubles is completely unnecessary Russian economy due to the fact that the existing nominal series fully satisfies all requests Russian society. The most popular are banknotes in denominations of 500, 100 and 50 rubles - after all, the amount of the average purchase of a Russian citizen does not exceed 492 rubles.

As for the models of banknotes, developed by order of the Liberal Democratic Party, today they can only be admired in the Goznak Museum. And with views of the Crimea, a jubilee "hundred-ruble note" was issued.

New banknotes in 2017

2017 was also notable for the news on the issuance of new banknotes - only in denominations not of 10,000 rubles, but of 200 and 2000. The first official announcements appeared on April 12 - the decision to put such banknotes into circulation was justified by the fact that most Russians make transactions, the value range of which varies in within 100-500 rubles and 1000-5000 rubles.

As for the design of future banknotes, Russian citizens themselves will be offered to choose it - public voting with the support of the federal television channel should start in the summer of 2017. The choice of options will be considerable: Crimean vineyards against the backdrop of Mount Ayu-Dag, the sights of Vladivostok, the Heart of Chechnya mosque in front of the panorama of Grozny, etc.

Since it will take a long time to sum up the voting results, develop layouts, issue new banknotes and put them into circulation, it is expected that new banknotes will gradually appear over the course of two years. The very first, according to plans, will see the light at the end of 2017.

Currently, the "most expensive" banknote printed by member banks of the US Federal Reserve System has a denomination of $100. But it was not always so. Until 1945, larger denominations were also issued - in 500, 1000, 10,000 and 100,000 dollars. Since 1969, they have been gradually withdrawn from circulation. The reason for this was the increasing spread of electronic banking payment systems, as well as insufficient protection against use in illegal financial transactions. (For similar reasons, the issue of limiting the issuance of banknotes to 50 and is now being raised).

In fact, the "history of the American dollar", although not long, is very voluminous and confusing; since its beginning in 1786, a very large number of different series of banknotes of different denominations have been issued. This is partly due to the fact that 12 banks have the right to print money in the United States at once, and in the old days they could afford to make individual differences in the design of banknotes. Now, speaking of large denomination banknotes, they mean, first of all, paper money of 1928 and 1934. Both Federal Reserve notes and "Gold Certificates" were printed, intended primarily for the settlement of banks among themselves.

These rare banknotes can still be paid for any service or exchanged at the bank. But in these cases, the calculation will occur only at face value, and the bank will be obliged to withdraw the banknote from further circulation, and subsequently it will be destroyed (if not quite rare). However, the collection value of these bills is much higher than the face value - at auctions for individual copies, it can reach up to 10 or even 15 times the face value. The price ceiling is somewhat limited by the fact that these banknotes are prohibited by US currency law from being exported outside the country.

500 $ banknotes

It was first printed in North Carolina in 1780. Now it is easiest to meet and purchase a 1934 bill with a portrait of President Grover Cleveland.

1000 $ banknotes

Now the most common and can be quite easily purchased is the 1934 issue with a portrait of President McKinley. And the most expensive of those sold at auctions is a denomination of the 1890 issue with the image of General George Gordon Meade. Only two copies of these have survived, and the second has already been seized by the Federal reserve bank and will never appear at auctions. In 2006, 2,255,000 current dollars were paid for such a "piece of paper".

10000 $ banknotes

At present, at auctions, including electronic ones, you can sometimes still find a banknote of the 1934 issue with a portrait of Philander Chase. The first question that is always asked about this bill is who Chase is. Philander Chase was at one time (in the middle of the 19th century) a well-known politician, senator, first secretary of the US Treasury. But perhaps his main merit is that, most likely, it was thanks to him that american dollars acquired their recognizable green-black color.

100000 $ banknotes

The largest banknotes in the United States by denomination. They were printed only as "gold certificates" and for only three weeks from December 1934 to January 1935. During the Great Depression, this was "unbearable" money for any of the American citizens, but there was a need for them for settlements between the US Treasury and the Federal reserve banks. The banknote features a portrait of President Woodrow Wilson.

A total of 42,000 copies were printed. They were not allowed into public circulation; moreover, it is illegal to possess such a banknote. Some time after their release was discontinued, most of them were destroyed.

Did million dollar bills even exist?

Actually no, but it turns out this question is not so simple. The intricacies of history american money, which we have already mentioned above, leads to the fact that even many Americans who have lived in the country since birth do not have a clear idea of what denominations of money were or are in circulation. Sometimes this leads to criminal situations with anecdotal overtones. Fraudsters or counterfeiters over the past 100 years have tried many times to sell banknotes in denominations that never existed. So, in 2004, a woman in Georgia tried to pay off at a local hypermarket for a purchase worth about $2,000 with a $1 million bill featuring the Statue of Liberty. And allegedly the purchase failed only for the reason that by that time there was not enough change at the checkout, and only the senior cashier who came up suspected something was wrong.

In 2014-2015, in the vastness of the domestic network, you can quickly meet a lot of discussions regarding the introduction of a new banknote with a face value of 10,000 rubles. Since then, a lot of time has passed, the economy has undergone certain changes. Therefore, with a more objective look at these disputes, we will be able to figure out whether new pieces of paper will really appear in the wallets of our fellow citizens soon, or is this another fiction of the media. We will rely on the materials of past years and on the current positions of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation.

What was the news 3 years ago

In 2014, active disputes arose regarding the fact that new money would be issued. In particular, they talked about such paper as a new banknote of 10,000 rubles, the photo of which flooded the entire Internet. Then it was assumed that it would have the same dimensions as its predecessor, the five thousandth bill. It was rumored that the new money would have about 9 degrees of protection against counterfeiting. Along with this, there was information that there would be a gradual withdrawal of banknotes in denominations of 10, 50, 100 rubles.

There were also reports that designers have several new, larger denominations in development - 25 and 50 thousand rubles. But their photo was not shown due to state secrets.

What news was received in 2015

Vedomosti's source was the first to report that the Central Bank has no goals and plans to issue new banknotes. It was said that it would be possible to talk about the launch of new securities only after a noticeable decrease in the inflation rate. It was noted that the modern range of denominations 100% satisfies the requirements of society, so there is no point in creating new money, especially given the current rate of inflation.

Bankers urged to pay attention to several more factors that played a role in the issuance of banknotes presented in large denominations. Among them is the low level of salaries.

“There are still people in the country who receive 10,000 rubles. It turns out that when a new paper is issued, they will be given a salary in one banknote. But what if the salary is even less? How will they get their hard earned money?”

Development of a new banknote by the leaders of the Liberal Democratic Party

There were versions that a banknote of 10,000 rubles would have an image of the sights of the Crimean peninsula, which became part of Russian Federation. But each time these facts were refuted, and it turned out that the Bank of Russia had never acted as the initiator of the issue of such banknotes.

During financial crisis In 2014, information was received about the appearance of a new banknote of 10,000 rubles. After 2 Crimean regions were annexed to our country, representatives of the LDPR handed over a template that has a new banknote of 10 thousand rubles. It depicted the historical places of the Crimea and Sevastopol.

Currently, the layouts, which were then handed over by the deputies, are stored in the museum of the state sign. Meanwhile, a serious discussion broke out on the Internet regarding the harm of their release. Again, there were examples when people who earn only 7 thousand rubles simply could not get these banknotes. The Bank of Russia also preferred to postpone the issue of the proposed money indefinitely, citing the fact that the country has a sufficient number of banknotes for all categories of citizens with different income levels.

"Ducks" on the Internet

In addition to the official design part, which was proposed by the liberal party, at the same time, news was circulating in Runet, the so-called ducks, which were devoted to a different design of banknotes. More about them:

So, for example, for the anniversary of the Far Eastern Russian city of Vladivostok, local design specialists developed a banknote of 2,000 rubles and presented it to the public as a government project. It depicted the sights of the city of the anniversary.
One of the versions testified that the Central Bank would soon issue new banknotes dedicated to Sochi sports facilities.
Another false news said that when considering new projects, the Central Bank of the Russian Federation would give preference to the city of Ryazan and depict its memorable places on the ten thousandth banknote. The design of this banknote was developed by unknown persons, the front side contains a monument to S. Yesenin, located against the backdrop of the Ryazan Kremlin.

There was also news that the banknote of 10,000 rubles of the Bank of Russia would have images of other Russian cities.

Official version of the Central Bank

As for the Central Bank, the news regarding the imminent issue of banknotes was refuted by him. Representatives of this organization urged the public not to believe the rumors and said that in the near future new banknote not expected. The first deputy chairman of this department, named Georgy Luntovsky, said that the issue related to the issuance of a new banknote would be relevant only if the inflation rate was significantly reduced.

In addition to these assurances, the banker offered to take into account the fact that not all citizens of our country receive income that exceeds the face value of this bill. This may cause dissonance in general economy countries. Another argument "against" is that the emergence of new money can become an excuse for violators of the law (counterfeiters). In a response to the media, a bank employee told journalists that there was no need to introduce a new banknote, since the banknote series operating on the territory of the federation 100% satisfies the requirements and requests of citizens.

Currently, the most popular are banknotes of 500, 1000 rubles, because, as official statistics show, the amount of purchase in a store from average citizens does not exceed 500 rubles. As for the money templates that were developed by the liberals, they can only be admired in the vastness of the Museum of the State Sign. And as for the theory about the views of the Crimea, they have already produced the issue of the jubilee one hundred rubles.

What about the rest of the bills

Another year 2017 was distinguished by the fact that a lot of news appeared regarding the issuance of new banknotes with a denomination of 200 and 2000 rubles. The first data on this aspect appeared several years ago. This may be partly motivated by the fact that most transactions are in the amount of 100-500 rubles and 1000-5000 rubles. If we consider the design of banknotes, then it will be offered for choice by the citizens of the country. Public voting began this summer. The choice of design options among compatriots is extensive: the vineyards of the Crimea, memorable places in Vladivostok, the mosque "Heart of Chechnya".

What conclusion can be drawn

So, we have covered the answer to the question of whether there will be a bill of 10,000 rubles. At present, its creation is considered inexpedient from all points of view, therefore, it will not appear in the wallets of Russians in the coming year. But due to the fact that the state is actively fighting inflation, there is a possibility of its reduction to 2-3% per year. And this already suggests that, probably, the Central Bank will be engaged in issuing the coveted ten thousandth banknote.

Currently, the $10,000 denomination is a rarity. Few people know that in the old days, 10,000 dollar bills were issued, but even they were not the most valuable, because on American currency you could see a larger number. Why did high denomination banknotes fall into disuse?

In 1928 federal government overhauled its banknote printing system, resulting in the issuance of new securities denominations from 1 to 100 dollars, with which we are well acquainted. Larger denominations are officially out of circulation. They featured portraits of William McKinley ($500), Grover Cleveland ($1,000), James Madison ($5,000), Salmon Chase ($10,000) and Woodrow Wilson ($100,000).

Money signs with large denominations were invented not just to save space in wallets. When the Treasury started printing them, main goal to make payments between banks and other financial institutions. Before complex systems were fully developed bank transfers, it was easier and safer to just fork out 5000 to pay off the bank. As transfer technology became more secure and reliable, the need to use large denominations automatically disappeared.

The name of Salmon Chase may not seem as famous as the names of the presidents whose portraits are placed on other large denominations, but he once played a big role in American politics. Chase, a mid-19th-century politician, was in charge of the US Department of Justice. In addition, he served as a senator and governor of Ohio, and was President Lincoln's first secretary of the treasury.

This man was in the right place at the right time. When did the federal government start issuing Money in 1861, Chase, as Secretary of the Treasury, was in charge of designing and popularizing new currency. He had to choose a portrait for the 10,000 dollar bill, and, succumbing to ambition, the politician chose himself.

Chase never became president, but his portrait adorned banknotes in the wallets of wealthy citizens. When the Treasury began issuing new 10,000 notes in 1928, they featured a portrait of Salmon Chase as the man who helped bring the new notes into circulation. Even after the withdrawal of the 10,000 banknote from the circulation of funds, Salmon continues to remind himself through National Bank Chase, named after him.

The largest denomination ever created in the United States was the $100,000 note, issued in 1934. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing issued such papers for 3 weeks in December and January 1934-1935. Even the richest people during the Great Depression did not use hundred thousand dollar notes, since they were used only for official transactions between the Federal reserve banks.

The US Treasurer only issued such notes to banks holding an equivalent amount of gold. The 100,000 dollar note featured a portrait of Woodrow Wilson.

Large banknotes as a relic of the past

On July 14, 1969, the Treasury announced that the 500 to 10,000 notes were to be withdrawn from circulation as they had become too rare. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing has ceased to produce such papers since 1945. After the announcement of the Treasury, large denominations quickly went out of circulation, but some of them have survived to this day. As of May 2009, there were 336 10,000 notes left, 342 5,000 notes, and 165,732 1,000 notes.

Despite the fact that the Treasury has abandoned large denominations, they are still legal tender. Theoretically, in the US, you can buy yourself a new plasma TV, paying for it with a banknote of 1000 dollars. Sellers may be surprised by this turn of events, but according to the law they cannot refuse the buyer, because the bill is quite legal. In fact, going to the store with a large denomination is not a good idea, because most of these banknotes have long been in collectors' safes. For example, a banknote of 10,000 can be sold at auction for 140,000 or more.

If bills of one hundred thousand dollars existed in limited quantities, then banknotes worth 1,000,000 never existed. However, some pranksters and enthusiasts tried to create something similar. In 2004, a woman in Covington, Georgia, attempted to make a $1,675 purchase with a homemade $1,000,000 note bearing the Statue of Liberty. The police arrested the swindler. The funny thing about this story is that in the event of a successful purchase, the sellers would have to give change for $998,325.

Interestingly, storage itself counterfeit banknotes not punishable by US law. In 1982, it was decided that since the $1,000,000 bill was never created by the Treasury, a person who possesses such a homemade bill was not subject to criminal liability.

In 2014-2015 on the Web, one could meet a lot of discussions about the introduction of new large banknotes with a face value of 10,000 rubles by the Central Bank of Russia. Now, after a few years, we can easily figure out, by looking at these disputes in retrospect, which of those news was official information and which was a newspaper duck, and also find out which new bills will soon appear in our wallets.

Background: Crimea and the Liberal Democratic Party

The LDPR party, not the Central Bank of Russia, initiated the issue of the 10,000 ruble note in 2014. Aleksey Didenko, first deputy head of the liberal faction, presented to the public the design of new banknotes, developed by order of the party. In the photo you can see their appearance - the banknotes depict the main sights of Sevastopol and the whole Crimea, incl. a monument to the legendary General Nakhimov and the Orthodox Vladimir Cathedral. Photos with layouts quickly spread across the Runet - some cunning users even tried to print them and pay with the fruits of their resourcefulness.

According to representatives of the Liberal Democratic Party, the issuance of thematic banknotes of 10,000 rubles dedicated to Crimea is a reflection in the history of the memorable 2014, when the peninsula and the heroic city of Sevastopol again became part of Russia, their historical homeland. At the same time, MP A. Didenko told reporters that graduation was a great opportunity not only to feel the reunion with Crimea spiritually, but also to feel this event materially - in your wallet.

New banknote of 10,000 rubles: fake news

In addition to the official project proposed by the liberals, in the same Runet in 2014-2015. news-ducks devoted to a different design roamed Many Internet users have seen messages about the imminent introduction of yellow-colored banknotes dedicated to the sights of Sochi into circulation.

Another fake news was that the Central Bank was about to issue 10,000 rubles dedicated to the ancient city of Ryazan. Executed by unknown designers, the layout was a banknote of a turquoise hue. On its front side, in the foreground, was a monument to the poet Sergei Yesenin against the backdrop of the Ryazan Kremlin. Here, on the right side of the image, the coat of arms of the city is also visible. On the reverse side, a panorama was visible with a bridge across.

Official response of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation

The Central Bank denied the news related to the imminent release of 10,000 rubles notes, calling them nothing more than rumors. Georgy Luntovsky, first deputy chairman of this department, noted that the issue of issuing banknotes of such a large denomination will be relevant only when the inflation rate in the Russian Federation drops to 2-3% per year. The banker suggested paying attention to the fact that the monthly income of far from all Russian citizens exceeds the face value of such a bill, so its issue will seriously discredit them. In addition, such a large banknote can be a real boon for especially talented counterfeiters.

Also, G. Luntovsky, in his official response to the media, assured journalists that the new banknote of 10,000 rubles is absolutely not needed by the Russian economy due to the fact that the existing nominal number fully satisfies all the needs of Russian society. The most popular are banknotes in denominations of 500, 100 and - after all, the amount of the average purchase of a Russian citizen does not exceed 492 rubles.

New banknotes in 2017

As for the design of future banknotes, Russian citizens themselves will be offered to choose it - public voting with the support of the federal television channel should start in the summer of 2017. The choice of options will be considerable: Crimean vineyards against the backdrop of Mount Ayu-Dag, the sights of Vladivostok, the mosque "Heart of Chechnya" in front of the panorama of Grozny, etc.

Economy and introduction of new banknotes

It is worth noting that the issuance of new banknotes does not affect either the inflation rate in the country or the entire mass of cash in the state. The necessary balance is achieved due to the fact that dilapidated banknotes and coins are constantly withdrawn from circulation.

According to Elvira Nabiullina, chairman of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, the issue of banknotes design sample- it is also not an expendable business, therefore, it is not planned to spend money either on the issue of new banknotes or on the withdrawal of old ones from circulation.

Thus, the project of the banknote of 10,000 rubles turned out to be mothballed for a long time. For its implementation, the initiative of caring citizens and deputies is not enough - a significant decrease in the percentage of inflation and an increase in the minimum income of citizens are necessary.
