Hmmm....if 1/360 is 1 pfennig from Prussia, then I've not only got 1/360, but also 1/180 and 1/120 (2 and 3 pfennig)!! I'm not sure though...feels a little like cheating to me since I catalog them as 1, 2, and 3 pfennig.

Of course the 7 1/2 is the polu(semi)imperial?

I'm surprised they only produced this in one year (the original of course, not the 10 Rouble version) ?!

1/360 cheating? Possibly. You know, I have 2, 3 and 4 pfennig from Prussia myself and I never included 1/180, 1/120 og 1/90 even though all of these are specified on the coin. Never thought of it. I think I'll just cross out the 1/360.

Polu(semi)imperial? NumisMatty, you probably know more of these than I do. All I know is that the 5 and 10 roubles were produces many years but the 7½ and 15 only in 1897.

Litotes - I only know them because there was a great list of denominations on CoinPeople someone had posted (a Ukrainian, I think...)

So, how about some Russian denominations..

1/4 = Polushka

1/2 = denga or Polkopeyki

1 = Kopek

2 = Grosh or Dvushka

3 = Altyn

5 = Pyatak

10 = Grivennik

15 = Pyati-Altynnik

20 = Dvugrivennik

25 = Polupoltinnik

50 = Poltinnik (a.k.a. poltina)

1.00 = Tselkoviy (Ruble)

3.00 = Treshka (refers mainly to banknotes I think)

5.00 = Sinitsa ('blue one' - banknotes)

5.00 = Poluimperial

7.50 = Poluimperial (due to change of weight for this name in 1897)

10.00 = Chervonets or Imperial

15.00 = Imperial (due to change of weight for this name in 1897)

100 = Sotnya or Stolnik or Sotenniy

1000 = Kosar or Shtuka (last one is very modern I guess)

1 000 000 = Limon (also the modern one)

** I have cut and pasted many of them from the original post...

There may also be a few more..

Thanks for the Russian denominations. Interesting list.

As for the Vogons, I am not surprised their denominations would sound like bad poetry.....;-)
