The unit ruble should be lower case. It's a unit, like meter, not a proper name. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Numismatics/Style.

The unit should be spelled ruble. And rouble is a variant of ruble. See definition of ruble at m-w and definition of rouble. The Bank of Russia also uses ruble. See [1].

Support</nowiki> If thats the proper way to spell it I apoligise for moving it, but I was taught it was spelled rouble (probably cause i'm british).

What languages to include in the infobox?

Please discuss at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Numismatics#Peseta. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 04:06, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It sounds cumbersome, but the ruble did have 15 official names, corresponding to the 15 languages of the union republics. Since it would be clearly unfair to pick and choose what to include in the infobox and what to leave out (who, after all, gets to say that Uzbek should be left out, but Ukrainian should be included?), I think either all 15 names or only Russian should be included. --Ericdn (talk) 15:35, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ruble picture

The commons image dates it 1944 rather than 1924. Cyrillic? Which is the truest date? -- maxrspct ping me 22:54, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Where does it say 1944? Are you referring to Image:Rubel 1924.png? --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 13:52, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Black market exchange rates

Does anyone know where to find information on black market ruble exchange rates during the Soviet era? This might be something worthy to add to the article. Esn (talk) 00:37, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Would market raters from late Soviet era help? The market wasn't exactly black anymore, in that it was recognised that it exists, but it wasn't exactly legal, either. Διγουρεν_{Εμπρος!} 04:34, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

During perestroika in Moscow, I was personally quoted between 25-50:1 on the low end. At the high end, some were getting up to 200:1, but that was still rare at the time. Official exchange rate was 1:2 (two USD to the ruble). - Tenebris —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.254.156.74 (talk) 14:19, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oversupply of interenterprise accounting roubles

One of the most peculiar characteristics of Soviet collapse was simultaneous inflation and shortage of cash. In most cases, inflation happens because of severe oversupply of cash. In case of Soviet rouble, cash was in short supply, and instead, inter-enterprise accounting roubles were oversupplied. Only after Perestroika made these two forms of roubles mutually convertible did hyperinflation of cash roubles become possible. Due to these unusual circumstances, it's important to clearly explain what was going on, or our reader might assume something more conventional -- such as irresponsible printing of cash, the process driving hyperinflation in Zimbabwe right now.

Rouble or ruble?

The article is entitled Ruble but in the second para the term Roubles is used. Surely we should be consistent? Headhitter (talk) 11:21, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I also wonder what "virtual ruble" means. --illythr (talk) 21:34, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Finnish language in table

There is Finnish language in table. However, the explanation for the table is: The name of the currency in the languages of the 15 republics, in the order they appeared in the banknotes:
"in the order they appeared in the banknotes"? Sorry, but Finnish language did not appear in the banknotes. It can also be counted from the banknote in the infobox: there is 15 languages, while the has 16 languages. So Finnish should be removed from the table. I deleted it, but it was reverted. 82.141.116.89 (talk) 17:23, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Using Ctrl+F for the word "Finnish" in the article yields the following sentence: Finnish last appeared on 1947 banknotes since the Karelo-Finnish SSR was dissolved in 1956. --illythr (talk) 20:18, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
