In Russia, began sharing money

Finansy01-10-2009 in Russia began an exchange of money from today in Russia to appeal received a new 10-ruble coin. It will gradually replace not only the banknotes of the same rank, but an old coin of the sample in 1997. As already reported Pravda.ru, a new "ten" smaller and lighter: made of galvanized steel, it has a diameter of 22 mm and weighs 5.6 grams. Coin of the same value of the last century at a diameter of 27 mm stretched for 8.4 grams. In the coin used protective features: inside the numbers "zero" on the reverse bear the inscription "10" and "rub", which can be seen alternately as the angle of view. Another application innovation - a protected herd with alternating riffs of different types. This allows blind people to touch a ten-coin to determine the denomination, ITAR-TASS. Changed and a new ten-part. If before the coin was made of copper-nickel alloy, now in the manufacture of coins used steel with brass plated. This greatly reduces the cost of production of new money.
