Weight of 10 ruble coins of the Russian Federation

Cash circulates in the consumer market in the form of paper banknotes and metal money. The weight of 10 ruble coins brings the owner a wide range of emotions from joy to sorrow. Imagine one person's role-playing situations during the day:

• In a fixed-route taxi with a hundred notes, the passenger was handed in the surrender of 8 coins with a nominal value of ten rubles.
• In the supermarket, the buyer could not pay with a bank card, gave the cashier a thousand-dollar bill, and put in the purse the surrender with six ten-ruble circles.
• In the shoemaker's shop, the client requested 290 rubles for a change of sacks, returning one coin from three hundred.

By the end of the day, the owner of the metal change felt like a Venetian merchant with a large bag of guilders. The weight of 10 ruble coins is invisible when recalculating, but is clearly expressed in the drawn pocket of the jacket. In this situation, willy-nilly, the holder of the national currency will think about the parameters of Russia's money.

Only half of the 85 subjects of the Federation are reflected in the regional series. The approximate date for completing the series devoted to the provinces, regions and republics of Russia is set for the third decade of the 21st century.

Weight and price of money

The price of metal mugs on the numismatic market does not depend on the weight of 10 ruble coins. The cost is determined by the circulation, the state, and the features of the appearance.

A worn and easy-to-use copy will ensure the owner for life, if it is a rare specimen.

The exact weight is typical for coins in factory packaging. As soon as the money went to the hands, dust and dirt adhere to the surface, the weight increases.

Before buying and selling collection items it is useful to study the catalogs of numismatics collections.
