svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 02/09/2010 1:33 pm Quote: I do have a question. I've never understood why the 15 kopek coin was minted, and apparently for a very long period. It just seems to be an odd denomination, even odder than the 3-cent piece that I use as my avatar. Does anyone have an explanation for this denomination? Maybe originally it was the price of a peck of potatoes? Here's what I think about this. A lot of things were relatively "cheap" at the time. Same as in the USSR after 1961 monetary reform. You could buy stuff for just 1 or two or three kopecks. Many people had salaries under 100 rubles a month. Therefore there was the need in a lot of small denomination coins, so there were 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 50 kopeck coins in change. Seemed pretty natural. Report this Post to the Staff
pls Rest in Peace United States 1729 Posts	Posted 02/09/2010 5:22 pm ribis, thanks for your information. I asked about 15 kopeks because I thought that a denomination, like 15 and 3, which did not divide into 100 was quite unusual, and I wondered if there was a historical reason for this denomination.
