Q: What am I buying, and why would I want it?
A: The notes are from the former Soviet Union and were issued from 1961, at the height of the Cold War, up until its abrupt end in 1991. They were
demonetized and
withdrawn from circulation in 1992/93. The picturesque collection is a memento of a time not so very long ago when Humanity stood on the precipice of nuclear extinction, and when an "Evil Empire" which had murdered millions, fell almost bloodlessly. You will hold history in your hands
.
These banknotes are from both the 1961 and 1991 series of Soviet rubles, and were in common circulation at the time of the Soviet collapse. The 1991 Pavlov Reform demonetized and withdrew the 1961 series (Khrushchev Reform) 50 and 100 ruble notes from circulation all together. They were replaced by the bills shown above. The 25 ruble note ceased production, but remained legal tender. The general designs of the new notes were only slightly modified from the previous banknote designs.
