The ruble or rouble[d] (Russian: рубль, romanizedrublʹ; symbol: ; ISO code: RUB) is the currency of the Russian Federation. Banknotes and coins are issued by the Central Bank of Russia, which is Russia's monetary authority independent of all other government bodies.[14]

The ruble is the second-oldest currency in continuous use and the first decimal currency.[15][16] The ruble was the currency of the Russian Empire, which was replaced by the Soviet ruble (code: SUR) during the Soviet period. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, by 1992, the Soviet ruble was replaced in the Russian Federation by the Russian ruble (code: RUR) at par. The Russian ruble then further continued to be used in 11 post-Soviet states, forming a "ruble zone" until 1993.[11][12][13] The ruble was further redenominated with the new code "RUB" just preceding the 1998 Russian financial crisis, and was exchanged at the rate of 1,000 RUR = 1 RUB.[17]

As of April 2019, the ruble was the 17th-most traded currency in the world;[18] however, due to international sanctions, the ruble dropped to being the 34th-most traded currency in the world as of April 2022.[19] The ruble is subdivided into 100 kopecks which have fallen out of use due to inflation. In 2023, the digital ruble was introduced.
