The denomination of 10,000 rubles: projects and reality. Issue of new banknotes in 2017

In 2014-2015 years. In the Internet, it was possible to meet a lot of discussions about the issuance of new large banknotes worth 10,000 rubles to the Central Bank of Russia. Now, after several years, we can easily understand, looking at these disputes in retrospect, that of those news was official information, and that the newspaper duck, and also find out what new bills will soon appear in our purses.

Prehistory: Crimea and LDPR

The initiator of issuing a 10,000 rubles bill in 2014 was the LDPR party, not the Central Bank of Russia. Aleksei Didenko, first deputy head of the liberal faction, presented to the public the design of new banknotes, developed by order of the party. In the photo you can view their appearance - the bills depict the main sights of Sevastopol and the whole Crimea, including. A monument to the legendary General Nakhimov and the Orthodox Vladimir Cathedral. Photos with mockups quickly dispersed on the Runet - some cunning users even tried to print them out and pay off the fruits of their resourcefulness.

According to representatives of the LDPR, the issue of thematic bills of 10,000 rubles dedicated to the Crimea is a reflection in the history of the memorable year 2014, when the peninsula and heroic city of Sevastopol once again became part of Russia - their historical homeland. Deputy A. Didenko told journalists at the same time that the issue of "Crimean" bills is a great opportunity not only to feel reunion with the Crimea spiritually, but also to feel this event financially - in his purse.

New bill 10,000 rubles: fake news

In addition to the official project, proposed by the liberals, in the same RuNet in 2014-2015. Roaming news-ducks, dedicated to a different design of ten-thousand bills. Many Internet users have seen reports about the imminent issuance of yellow-colored banknotes devoted to the sights of Sochi.

Another fake news was a message about the imminent release by the Central Bank of Russia of 10,000 rubles worth of notes devoted to the ancient city of Ryazan. Performed by unknown designers, the layout was a turquoise note. On its front side in the foreground was a monument to the poet Sergei Yesenin against the backdrop of the Ryazan Kremlin. Here, on the right side of the image, you can see the coat of arms of the city. On the reverse side was a panorama with a bridge across the Trubezh River. According to the authors of the news, the need for such a bill arose in connection with the growth of the average salary in Russia.

The official response of the Central Bank of Russia

The central bank denied the news related to the prompt release of notes 10,000 rubles, calling them no more than rumors. Georgy Luntovsky, first deputy chairman of this agency, noted that the issue of issuing such a large denomination banknotes will be relevant only when the inflation rate in the Russian Federation drops to 2-3% per year. The banker suggested paying attention to the fact that the monthly income of not all Russian citizens exceeds the denomination of such a bill, so its release seriously discredits them. In addition, such a large banknote can be a real godsend for particularly talented counterfeiters.

Also, G. Luntovsky, in his official response to the media, assured the journalists that the new bill of 10,000 rubles is completely unnecessary for the Russian economy due to the fact that the existing nominal series fully satisfies all the demands of Russian society. The most popular are banknotes worth 500, 100 and 50 rubles - because the average purchase of a Russian citizen does not exceed the mark of 492 rubles.

As for the mock-ups of banknotes developed at the request of the LDPR, today they can only admire the Goznak Museum. And with the views of Crimea was released anniversary "hundredfold."

New banknotes in 2017

2017 was also distinguished by the news on the issue of new banknotes - not only in face value of 10,000 rubles, but 200 and 2000. The first official reports appeared on April 12 - the decision to introduce such notes was justified by the fact that the majority of Russians make transactions whose range of values varies in The limits of 100-500 rubles and 1000-5000 rubles.

As for the design of future banknotes, he will be offered to choose the Russian citizens themselves - a public vote with the support of the federal television channel should start in the summer of 2017. The choice of options will be considerable: the Crimean vineyards against the background of the Ayu-Dag mountain, the sights of Vladivostok, the mosque "Heart of Chechnya" before the panorama of Grozny, etc.

Since it will take a lot of time to summarize the results of the voting, develop mock-ups, issue new notes and put them into circulation, it is expected that new banknotes will gradually appear within two years. The very first, according to plans, will see the light as early as the end of 2017.

Economics and introduction of new banknotes

It should be noted that the issue of new bills does not affect the level of inflation in the country, and the entire mass of cash on the territory of the state. The necessary balance is achieved due to the fact that old banknotes and coins are constantly withdrawn from circulation.

According to Elvira Nabiullina, the chairman of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, the issue of the project design notes themselves is also not an expense, so there is no plan to spend money either on issuing new bills or for withdrawing old ones.

Thus, the draft bill of 10,000 rubles was permanently mothballed. For its implementation, there is little initiative of indifferent citizens and deputies - a significant reduction in the inflation rate and an increase in the minimum income of citizens is necessary.
