On a new denomination of 100 rubles. numbers and inscriptions will become large and contrasting, and relief marks will appear to determine the denomination by blind people, said Deputy Chairman of the Central Bank Mikhail Alekseev in an interview with Rossiyskaya Gazeta.
According to him, the size of the bill will remain the same, but the shade will change. “Our banknotes are original, they differ significantly from the eurozone banknotes and do not copy them. Associations with the euro can be caused by the presence of large numbers, denoting the denomination, and a brighter color scheme, ”said Alekseev. According to him, it has become a worldwide trend that makes it easier for people and machines to recognize banknotes. The Board of Directors of the Central Bank has already approved the new design of the banknote.
The updated bill will go into circulation in 2022, Alekseev said. Banknotes of 1000 and 5000 rubles are planned to be issued next. On the front side of banknotes in denominations of 10, 500, 1000 and 5000 rubles. images of Novosibirsk, Pyatigorsk, Nizhny Novgorod and Yekaterinburg will appear, and on their reverse side – the sights of the Siberian, North Caucasian, Volga and Ural federal districts.
Images on the front side of banknotes in denominations of 50 (St. Petersburg) and 100 rubles. (Moscow) will remain unchanged. At the same time, the Apollo quadriga at the Bolshoi Theater will be replaced by other sights of the capital.
