Hi. As I was explained the main rule to have the right to trade is to have 50 posts to let you know me better. Well I can send "Hi" to everyone and get those 50 posts. But this is not good. So please help me. Ask me questions about myself, my country, coins you are interested from my part of the world. I don't believe that you all are so well informed about Belarus and former Soviet Union and the topic is uninteresting for you. If so, I am in the wrong place. Because I can't offer you anything else but coins, banknotes from Belarus, Russia, Ukraine, Lithuania and former Soviet union to trade. As I say the major goal of my being a member of the forum is to get info about the world coins and sure to get them, mostly by trading.

One question I have often wondered is why Belarus doesn't issue any circulating coins? What is used for small transactions? As I am more of a coin collector rather than a banknote collector, I would love to see some circulating issues come out Belarus. The commemorative pieces I have seen are beautiful, but my budget will not allow me to even attempt to start a collection of them.
When the time comes, I would definitely be interested in working some trades with you.

Do you have the ability to post any pictures of Belarus coins and banknotes from your collection?

I didn't know Belarus didn't have coins for circulation. That is a good question. How do you pay for food, gas, entertainment, etc.? |

Welcome! I'm sure we'll all learn something from you, and in turn hopefully you'll learn something from us as well. You'll get 50 posts soon enough, and I'm sure there will be people eager to trade with you.

vbekarevich - Hello and welcome. I am afraid that I don't even know where Belarus is located. But I do love coins - of all kinds especially the counterfeit ones. In your area of the world - do you have very many people actively involved in counterfeiting?

One of the best things about this forum is the knowledge that we all gain from one another. There are coins that I never thought of including in my collection until others started to share pics, info, etc.
There are some very valid questions listed above. If you address them individually, you'll reach that milestone of 50 before you know it! Really, you will and we will have gained much from you and vice versa!
Welcome to our friendly forum!

The answer is very simple. 1USD = 2140 Br (Belarusian Roubles) The smallest banknote is 10 roubles. Thought one can't buy anything for it. Well there are cupronickel commems of about 3-5 USD |

Sure I will do, a bit later. I don't have pictures, but I will do scans. Thought in my collection I have only Belarusian banknotes. Though now together with some of you I am going to start collecting our commems. But I have a lot of Soviet. It's starnge that noone expresssed interest in the Soviet coins. Are they so widely spread in the world? |

Bread costs about 1000-1500 Br. Do imagine coming to a shop with tons of metal money?  |

It's really sad to hear that.  I really met only few people during my visit to the US who knew where I came from. This is a state of 10 000 000 population between Russia and Poland, Ukraine and Lithuania and Latvia. At least you might have heard about our badly known President Lukashenko, the last Dictator in Europe as US government called him. Well really it's not 100% true. Our life is not so bad. The only reason I vote against him, he is too long at power. But the situation is similar in all over the world even in the states with developed democracy - everyone wants to be at the power the longest he can hold it. |

About counterfeiting. As we don't have coins we don't have coin counterfeiting. Our people do only large banknotes counterfeiting and US and Euro banknotes counterfeiting. |

It's an interesting way your government has chosen.
Here in Turkey we had very high inflation rate until a couple of years ago, and bread costed ~500.000 TL until 31 December 2004 (now it is 0,5 YTL=50YKr) Even then we had coins. Of course coins had a lot of zeroes too. the last denominations in circulation were 50.000, 100.000, 250.000 TL. In order to make it look a little nicer maybe, the coins had the word BiN=1000.
Belarus could mint coins with big denominations but that probably makes only us (collectors) happy :)
