NEW RUSSIAN 5,000 RUBLE NOTE

A Russian news site announced that "The Central Bank of
Russia has officially announced that a 5000-ruble banknote
will be produced in 2006. This is not surprising, since the
most used banknote in Russia in recent months has been the
1000-ruble note. Statistics show that the issue of a larger-
denomination banknote is directly related to the rapid growth
of the money mass and inflation. The 1000-ruble note was
introduced at the beginning of 2001. In the course of that year,
it rose from 1 percent of all banknotes in use to 3 percent,
reaching 7 percent the next year and 25 percent at present."

"The largest Russian banknote will now be worth more than
the largest in the United States and Great Britain."
