Sorry, guys! Maybe that's why I haven't dared to do this for a long time, I wasn't sure how appropriate it would be. Thank you, guys, for trying and participating, if everybody was staying away from it I'd feel completely dumb!

I say bring it on svslav. I will speak only for myself but I have gleaned a lot of new knowledge on the subjects. I didn't know some of this stuff before a couple of the questions and now I do. I like the "twistyness" of your questions and I like doing the research - yes research - I haven't pulled these answers out of my ear you know LOL

Straight from the "National Bank of the Republic of Belarus" Quote: In accordance with the resolution of the Government of the Republic of Belarus, in May 1992 token money issued by the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus in 50 kopecks, 1, 3, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 Rubles denominations were introduced into circulation. The coins do exist. But they were not issued within the 21st century, which makes my answer, as svslav stated, incorrect. But they do exist. ORMaybe I misunderstand the term 'token money'. More likely, eh.

I wonder if any of those were coins. I was in Uzbekistan during this transitional period after former Soviet republics tried to create their newly independent economies. In Uzb. they had just very cheaply made tiny banknotes. At this point throughout the whole former USSR inflation galloped like crazy, no metal would make production of coins feasible. I believe I have a former classmate who moved to Belarus, I'll ask her.

Question 5 (An arithmetic problem.)
I will use the symbol "#" , as it is common in the US, for the word "number". For example, [# of ponies in a oner] = 4 ; pony being £25 and oner, pronounced "wunner" being £100. Give the answer for the following calculation as a decimal number,
[# of bobs in a ned] + [# of zacks in a Sick Sheep] ÷ [# of altyns in six grivnas] x [# of eagles in a half-union] - [# of bluenoses in a toonie] ÷ [# of madza caroon in a pair of knickers]
TIP: Give your answer just as a number, do not explain the nicknames so, if you make a calculation mistake, you do not help your competition.

Ah nuts, I did it again. First in with the wrong answer. I only used ...... 2 ned. Not one.
And I added the end instead of subtracting.

Just ignore all of this.
maybe, but I have found 2 different 'ned' amounts so I can give you two different answers no matter how you want to figure it out.
make that 3. Depending on what country, and what year, there is more than one ned. I got the answer wrong either way. If this 'ned' goes along with the 'half -ned', then that would make it unique. Good luck all.
