From July 1, 2016, the Republic of Belarus will denominate the official currency - the Belarusian ruble. The corresponding decision was made by Decree of the President of the Republic of Belarus dated November 4, 2015 No. 450.

The denomination will be carried out by replacing the banknotes of the 2000 model in circulation with banknotes and coins of the 2009 model in the ratio of 10,000 Belarusian rubles in banknotes of the 2000 model to 1 Belarusian ruble in banknotes of the 2009 model. That is, taking into account the chosen scale of enlargement of the Belarusian ruble (1:10,000), the lowest denomination of the banknote currently in force - 100 rubles - will be replaced by the lowest denomination of the new money series - 1 kopeck.

In total, from July 1, 2016, seven denominations of banknotes will be issued into circulation - 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500 rubles, and eight denominations of coins - 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 kopecks, as well as 1 and 2 rubles.

The general design concept of the new banknotes corresponds to the motto “My Country – Belarus”. Each banknote is dedicated to one of the regions of Belarus and the city of Minsk. The correspondence of the area to the denomination of banknotes is determined in alphabetical order. The image of a banknote in denomination of 5 rubles is dedicated to the Brest region, 10 rubles - to the Vitebsk region, 20 rubles - to the Gomel region, 50 rubles - to the Grodno region, 100 rubles - to the Minsk region, 200 rubles - to the Mogilev region, 500 rubles - to Minsk. The design of the new banknotes of the 2009 series maintains continuity with the banknote series of the 2000 series in terms of the use of images of architectural and urban planning monuments.

On the obverse (front side) of the change (circulation) coins put into circulation, the State Emblem of the Republic of Belarus is depicted, on the reverse (back side) - digital designations of the coin denominations.

Until July 1, 2016, the only legal tender for cash payments in the Republic of Belarus will be banknotes of the 2000 model currently in circulation.

From July 1 to December 31, 2016 inclusive, banknotes of the 2000 model, as well as banknotes and coins of the 2009 model, will be in parallel circulation and must be accepted for all types of payments by all business entities without restrictions.

Over the next five years - from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2021 inclusive - banknotes of the 2000 model will be exchanged for banknotes of the 2009 model in any amount without restrictions and without charging a commission.

In this case, it will be possible to exchange old banknotes for new ones:

from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019 inclusive - in the National Bank, banks and non-bank financial institutions of the Republic of Belarus;

from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2021 inclusive - at the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus.

The decision to denominate the Belarusian ruble was made in order to improve monetary circulation, simplify accounting and settlements, maintain an optimal banknote structure of the money supply, and significantly reduce government expenses for servicing cash circulation in the Republic of Belarus.

The denomination process is of a technical nature and will not affect the purchasing power of the Belarusian ruble, the exchange rate of the national currency against foreign currencies, as well as the actual level of inflation.

Thus, prices for goods and services from July 1, 2016 will be recalculated taking into account the selected denomination scale - 1:10,000. In other words, if before the denomination a product cost, for example, 100,000 rubles, then after the denomination its price will be 10 rubles. At the same time, to make it easier for buyers to adapt to such changes, during the parallel circulation of old and new banknotes, that is, from July 1 to December 31, 2016, all business entities will be required to indicate two prices - old and new.

Using a similar principle, when carrying out denomination, salaries, pensions, scholarships, cash balances in bank accounts, balance sheets of enterprises and institutions, etc. will be recalculated.

It should be noted that preparations for the denomination in the Republic of Belarus took quite a long period. Thus, the new banknotes, which will be put into circulation on July 1, 2016, were manufactured by order of the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus back in 2008. However, then, due to the global economic crisis and, as a consequence, the deterioration of the economic situation in our country, the denomination was postponed, and the manufactured banknotes were transferred to the Central Vault of the National Bank.

Taking into account the time of production, new Belarusian rubles have certain features. In particular, on the 2009 banknotes issued for circulation there is a facsimile of the signature of P.P., who at that time held the position of Chairman of the Board of the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus. Prokopovich. In addition, the new 50-ruble banknote contains the inscription “pyatsdzesyat”, which does not comply with the current rules of Belarusian spelling. In accordance with the Law of the Republic of Belarus dated July 23, 2008 No. 420-Z “On the rules of Belarusian spelling and punctuation”, this word must be written through the letter “ya” in the second syllable - “pyatsdzyasyat”.

When the National Bank makes subsequent orders for the production of new banknotes, these discrepancies will be eliminated.

Banknotes and coins of the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus, issued for circulation from July 1, 2016, are presented today on the National Bank’s website.

The general design concept of the new banknotes corresponds to the motto “My Country – Belarus”. Each banknote is dedicated to one of the regions of Belarus and the city of Minsk. The correspondence of the area to the denomination of banknotes is determined in alphabetical order. The image of a banknote in denomination of 5 rubles is dedicated to the Brest region, 10 rubles - to the Vitebsk region, 20 rubles - to the Gomel region, 50 rubles - to the Grodno region, 100 rubles - to the Minsk region, 200 rubles - to the Mogilev region, 500 rubles - to Minsk. The design of the new banknotes of the 2009 model maintains continuity with the banknote series of the 2000 model in terms of the use of images of architectural and urban planning monuments, according to the website of the National Bank of Belarus. Total from July 1, 2016 Seven denominations of banknotes will be issued into circulation - 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500 rubles, and eight denominations of coins - 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 kopecks, as well as 1 and 2 rubles.

This is what the current 50 thousand rubles will look like.

This bill is equal to the current 100 thousand rubles.

Instead of the current banknote with a face value of 200 thousand rubles.

If we had a banknote with a face value of 500 thousand rubles, this is what they would look like after redenomination.

Equivalent to 1 million rubles.

Think of this bill as 2 million rubles.

This bill is equal to the current 5 million rubles.

Here there are 100, as well as 200 and 500 current rubles.

Equivalent to the current 1 thousand, 2 thousand and 5 thousand.

And this is 10 thousand and 20 thousand current rubles.

The denomination will take place on July 1, 2016 by replacing the banknotes of the 2000 model in circulation with banknotes and coins of the 2009 model in the ratio of 10,000 Belarusian rubles in banknotes of the 2000 model to 1 Belarusian ruble in banknotes of the 2009 model. That is, given the chosen scale of enlargement of the Belarusian ruble (1:10 000), the lowest denomination of the banknote currently in force – will be replaced by the lowest denomination of the new currency series – 1 kopeck.

Before July 1, 2016 The only legal tender for cash payments in the Republic of Belarus will be banknotes of the 2000 model currently in circulation.

From July 1 to December 31, 2016 inclusive, banknotes of the 2000 model, as well as banknotes and coins of the 2009 model, will be in parallel circulation and must be accepted for all types of payments by all business entities without restrictions.

In this case, it will be possible to exchange old banknotes for new ones:

from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2021 inclusive - at the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus.

From January 1, 2022, banknotes of the 2000 model will be considered invalid.

The decision on the denomination of the Belarusian ruble has been made in order to improve money circulation, simplify accounting and settlements, maintain an optimal banknote structure of the money supply, and significantly reduce government spending on servicing cash circulation in the Republic of Belarus. The denomination process is of a technical nature and will not affect the purchasing power of the Belarusian ruble, the exchange rate of the national currency against foreign currencies, as well as the actual level of inflation.

November 4, Minsk /Tatyana Polezhay - BELTA/. In Belarus from July 1, 2016 denomination will be carried out. As BELTA was informed by the press service of the President of the country, on November 4, Alexander Lukashenko signed decree No. 450 “On the denomination of the official currency of the Republic of Belarus.”

The document decides to carry out from July 1, 2016 denomination of the official monetary unit of the Republic of Belarus and make a replacement until December 31, 2016 circulating banknotes of the 2000 sample in the form of banknotes to banknotes of the 2009 sample in the form of banknotes and coins in the ratio of Br10 thousand in the 2000 sample to Br1 in banknotes of the 2009 sample.

From July 1, 2016, new money will appear in Belarus. What will the new money look like, will people lose their deposits, will loan rates remain the same, will the real sector of the economy suffer - representatives of the National Bank answered these and other questions at a press conference dedicated to the denomination of the Belarusian ruble.

The leadership of the National Bank emphasized that the denomination of the national currency is a purely technical process, which involves the replacement of banknotes of the 2000 model with banknotes of the 2009 model.

In total, from July 1, 2016, seven denominations of banknotes will be issued into circulation - 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500 rubles, and eight denominations of coins - 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 kopecks, as well as 1 and 2 rubles.

Commemorative banknotes issued for circulation by the National Bank, from July 1, 2016, are subject to acceptance for all types of payments without restrictions in the ratio specified above, commemorative and bullion (investment) coins issued for circulation by the National Bank are subject to acceptance at face value for all types of payments no limits.

The decree establishes that 1 Belarusian ruble of the 2009 model is equal to 100 Belarusian kopecks of the 2009 model.

From July 1 to December 31, 2016 banknotes of the 2000 sample and banknotes of the 2009 sample are located in parallel circulation and are required to be accepted for all types of payments without restrictions in the above ratio.

In this case, it will be possible to exchange old banknotes for new ones:

from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019 inclusive– in the National Bank, banks and non-bank financial institutions of the Republic of Belarus;

from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2021 inclusive– at the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus.

From January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2021 inclusive, old money can be exchanged for new money only at the National Bank. From January 1, 2022, banknotes of the 2000 model will be considered invalid.

From July 1 to December 31, 2016, manufacturers, sellers, suppliers, performers and their representatives, when providing consumers with information about the goods (works, services) offered, are required to indicate prices (tariffs) in banknotes of the 2000 model and banknotes of the 2009 model.

The National Bank was instructed to ensure the issuance of banknotes of the 2009 model and the withdrawal of banknotes of the 2000 model from circulation, taking into account the provisions of the decree.

Alexander Lukashenko spoke about the denomination of the Belarusian ruble and what the new money would be like on April 2, 2014, while communicating in Baranovichi with representatives of the workforce of OJSC “558 Aviation Repair Plant”.

Banknotes and coins of the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus, issued for circulation from July 1, 2016.

The general design concept of the new banknotes corresponds to the motto “My Country – Belarus”. Each banknote is dedicated to one of the regions of Belarus and the city of Minsk. The correspondence of the area to the denomination of banknotes is determined in alphabetical order. The image of a banknote in denomination of 5 rubles is dedicated to the Brest region, 10 rubles - to the Vitebsk region, 20 rubles - to the Gomel region, 50 rubles - to the Grodno region, 100 rubles - to the Minsk region, 200 rubles - to the Mogilev region, 500 rubles - to Minsk. The design of the new banknotes of the 2009 series maintains continuity with the banknote series of the 2000 series in terms of the use of images of architectural and urban planning monuments.

On July 1, 2016, citizens of the Republic will hold new banknotes and coins for the first time. So far we have only seen sketches on screens, but some idea is already taking shape.

Banknotes of seven denominations will appear in circulation: 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 rubles, and eight coins: 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 kopecks, 1 and 2 rubles.

The size of the banknotes is not too different from those we have become accustomed to since 2000 - 150x74 mm. The semantic content, in general, is the same: architecture, national patterns, but the design has become more “European”. This is understandable - the manufacturer of banknotes that won the National Bank's competition is located in Europe (where exactly has not yet been reported).

It also follows from the statement that there are no plans to create its own mint in Belarus; production is too expensive and clearly not profitable for a small state. By the way, from the same source we managed to find out that the production of one banknote or coin ranges from 1 to 4 euro cents, i.e. 1 kopeck coins, at the current exchange rate, are almost half the cost.

It should be noted that both coins and banknotes were printed back in 2009, as evidenced by the signature of the then head of the National Bank P. P. Prokopovich, and the old spelling of the word “pyatsdzyasyat”, instead of “pyatsdzyasyat”, as follows from the current spelling rules. They promise to eliminate the discrepancies during the production of the next batches of banknotes.

The money printed in 2009 could have been put into circulation earlier, but this was prevented by the global economic crisis and the excessive growth in the Belarusian economy in subsequent years. It is also good that the costs of producing money have already been incurred, although there remain costs for carrying out exchanges, changes in accounting, reconfiguring ATMs and other equipment.

By the way, the question of the future operation of ATMs (especially during the transition period) remains open: only with new money or in parallel with old money? with or without coins?

Returning to the design of the new money, we note that the images on seven bills are correct, i.e. alphabetically, distributed between regions: five-ruble coins are dedicated to the Brest region; ten-ruble - Vitebsk; twenty - Gomel; a banknote of fifty rubles - Grodno; hundred-ruble - Minsk; two hundred rubles - Mogilev region; and the largest one, worth five hundred rubles, goes to the city of Minsk.

The reverse side of the banknotes is filled with historical and cultural symbols, without any obvious connection to the geography of the country and the image on the front side.

The design of the coins may be reminiscent of the metal money of the Soviet period, and the two-ruble coin is composed of two metals of different colors, like the euro.

All coins have the coat of arms of the Republic on the obverse and national symbols on the reverse. All banknotes indicate the year of issue 2009.

Not much information has appeared about the new money, but something can be seen now:

The largest banknote is 500 rubles(5 million in today's money).

On the front side: National Library, Prokopovich’s signature, year of issue, denomination of the banknote in numbers and words, a straight cross in the lower left corner, above it a rectangular sign similar to a door, on the right - the inscription “RB”, translucent images along the entire side and a metal strip for better protection against counterfeiting.

On the reverse side there is the denomination in numbers, the serial number of the bill in two places, and a composition on the theme of literature: a quill pen, an inkwell, a book, as well as a flower and a fern branch. Probably, not all the symbols on the new banknotes will be clear to the average person, but they are certainly not accidental.

200 rubles- the general structure of the front and back sides remains the same, the color scheme shifts towards purple. On the front side is the Mogilev Regional Art Museum named after P.V. Maslennikov, in the lower left corner, instead of a straight one, there is an oblique cross, above it is an image of a rectangle, similar to a door.

On the reverse side there is a collage on the theme of urban planning and crafts: the seal of Mogilev and the golden key, tiles, forged lattice, images of houses.

100 ruble bill: Radziwill Castle in Nesvizh, in the corner instead of a cross there is a rhombus, above it there is a rectangle.

On the back are musical instruments, Slutsk belts, the Batleyka puppet theater, a goat and a “carol star”. The general theme is ethnography, folk holidays. The color scheme is closer to turquoise.

50 rubles- on the front side: Mir Castle, in the lower left corner there is a triangle, above it there is a picture similar to a “false window”, just like there are many in Mir Castle.

On the back is a composition on the theme of art: pen, paper, lyre, notes and laurel branches. The design is dominated by light green colors.

20 rubles. On the front side: the Rumyantsev-Paskevich Palace in Gomel, in the corner there is a square, above it there is a window.

On the reverse side: a bell, the Turov Gospel, carvings, views of Turov in ancient times. The common theme is spirituality. The color of the bill is rather sand.

10 rubles. On the front side: Church of the Transfiguration in Polotsk. An example of ancient Polotsk architecture of the 12th century, a contemporary of St. Euphrosyne of Polotsk. In the lower left corner there is a circle, above it there is an image of a high window.

The main theme of the reverse side is enlightenment and printing. Depicted: Cross of Euphrosyne of Polotsk, books, seal of Francis Skaryna. The color of the banknote is closer to blue and gold.

5 rubles- the smallest of banknotes. On the front side is the White Vezha in Kamenets (Brest region) - a defensive structure of the 13th century, a rare example of the Romanesque style for Belarus. In the corner there is a “-” sign, above it there is an element of the fortress wall.

The reverse side of the banknote is dedicated to ancient Slavic history, depicting a wheel, a leather belt, and a reconstruction of the ancient fortified settlement “Berestye”. The general background is perhaps the color of ocher and brick.

The following coins will also appear in circulation:

Coins of 1 and 2 rubles made of silver-gray metal. The 2-ruble note has a yellow rim.

On the obverse (front side) of the coins there is the coat of arms of Belarus and the number “2009”.

On the reverse (back side) there is a denomination and an ornament representing the desire for happiness and freedom. These ornaments on 1 and 2 rubles are different, but the meaning is the same.

Kopecks, depending on the denomination, are divided into two colors, as in the Soviet Union, although there is no exact correspondence.

Small: 1, 2 and 5 kopecks- similar to copper, 10, 20, 50 kopecks- golden hue.

From May 20, 2019, updated banknotes of the 2009 model in denominations of 5 and 10 Belarusian rubles, issued in 2019, will be put into circulation. This decision was made by Resolution of the Board of the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus dated April 24, 2019 No. 183 as part of ongoing measures to replace worn-out banknotes being withdrawn from circulation and optimize the security complex of banknotes in circulation.
