This could be a future development alternative for some countries with high valued coins such as Japan (500 yen) and Switzerland (5 Francs)
I agree. Someone just needs to take the plunge.
I have this set also. They are almost unbreakable. Great video.
Almost? Did you manage to break one? Glad you liked the video! 😀
Great. Fascinating.. Thanks - none of the "reaction shots" of stock strangers on your earlier work. Very informative. Thx. D.A., NYC
i'm going there tomorrow and only learned of these super oddities today - thanks for the full review!
Fantastic vid as always
Thank you!
I think that Egypt is planning to make plamet coins
Whoa - really?! Where did you hear that?! 😯
It's the material used to make the plastic coins in Pridniestria.
Super
I always wanted to know more about how money is made so this is great
I really would like to make a video about how banknotes are made someday. But we will see...
They have these on ebay but I worry about if and how these could be counterfeited
Yes, you can definitely find them on ebay. But they would be very expensive to counterfeit. You couldn't just print them with a color copier the way you could with banknotes. Go for it!
I wonder how easy it is to put those coins in rolls, like metal coins. I wish you had mentioned in the video whether they still have metal coins of less than a ruble, and what the lowest denomination banknote is now that they have these new coins.
I can answer your questions. These coins continue to be legal tender but were not manufactured in enough quantities to be in regular circulation once collectors started grabbing them. Otherwise banknotes have always been for 1 rouble or more, and coins for less than 1 rouble. Most coins in circulation look very much like the old Soviet coins, like the 10 kopek coin I show in the video. Instead of the Soviet arms it is the PMR arms, but otherwise identical, and made of fairly cheap materials like aluminium. With regards to rolls, I doubt they would work, but when I moved to the UK I discovered here that coins are kept in small bags not rolls. So pound coins, for example, are put in bags 20 at a time, 50 coins the same, etc. Because UK coins are not all round (especially the 50p coin) I am not sure a roll would really work.
I would just call these tokens
I think this is going to be a really interesting video
Very cool video
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
will there be another one of these?
Working on the next one now. Hopefully by Friday!
👍great video
Thanks! Glad you liked it

Thank you!
@@FredoRockwell Welcome :)
are these coins really circulating there? or its more of a fantasy?
From what I've been told by multiple sources they are legal tender and were in regular use. Most have been snapped up by collectors now, so I understand that it is rare to receive one in your change today.
@@FredoRockwell OK sounds great. I'll collect them then. Thank you
@@user-mi4yc7pr3x they certainly are not a fantasy issue. They're worth collecting just for the curiosity factor I think. Let me know what you think of them.
@@FredoRockwell well as a romanian we hate everything about soviets and especially soviets taking a chunk of Moldova and claiming its a country
@@user-mi4yc7pr3x I can understand that sentiment!
Get 10 thousand subs your video is fantastic
Thank you! 10k would be fab. Let's see if I can do it...
“In Russian”,
Are you sure it’s Russian? I feel like you should be saying “In Cyrillic”.
Cyrillic is the name of the alphabet. Russian is the main language of Transnistrie. There are other which groups, but ethic Russians run the show, which is why they're so keen to tout their local connections to famous Russians. Thanks for watching! (:
I realise now I should have explained the fact that the people in Transnistrie are Russian - sorry for the oversight!
Yep, I’m aware it’s the alphabet, but I wasn’t sure if the language in the banknotes was Russian or not, since many people use ‘Cyrillic’ and ‘Russian’ interchangeably, even though all Russian is Cyrillic, but not all Cyrillic is Russian =)
Great videos!
Thank you!
