What money is in Belarus today. With what currency to go to Belarus from Russia. Is it possible to exchange old money for new in Belarus

November 4, Minsk /Tatyana Polezhay - BELTA/. In Belarus from July 1, 2016 denomination will take place. As BelTA was told in the press service of the President of the country, on November 4, Alexander Lukashenko signed Decree No. 450 "On the denomination of the official currency of the Republic of Belarus."

The document decides to from July 1, 2016 denomination of the official currency of the Republic of Belarus and replace to December 31, 2016 circulating banknotes of the 2000 sample in the form of banknotes to banknotes of the 2009 sample in the form of banknotes and coins in the ratio of Br10 thousand in the samples of 2000 to Br1 in the banknotes of the sample of 2009.

From July 1, 2016, new money will appear in Belarus. What new money will look like, whether people will lose their deposits, whether interest rates on loans will remain the same, whether the real sector of the economy will suffer - representatives of the National Bank answered these and other questions at a press conference on the denomination of the Belarusian ruble.

The leadership of the National Bank emphasized that the denomination of the national currency is a purely technical process, which involves the replacement of banknotes of the 2000 sample with banknotes of the 2009 sample.

In total, from July 1, 2016, seven denominations of banknotes - 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500 rubles, and eight denominations of coins - 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 kopecks, as well as 1 and 2 rubles.

Commemorative banknotes put into circulation by the National Bank from July 1, 2016 are subject to acceptance for all types of payments without restrictions in the ratio indicated above, commemorative and bullion (investment) coins put into circulation by the National Bank are subject to acceptance at face value for all types of payments no limits.

The decree establishes that 1 Belarusian ruble of the sample of 2009 is equal to 100 Belarusian kopecks of the sample of 2009.

From 1 July to 31 December 2016 banknotes of the sample of 2000 and banknotes of the sample of 2009 are in parallel circulation and are required to be accepted for all types of payments without restrictions in the ratio indicated above.

At the same time, it will be possible to exchange old banknotes for new ones:

from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019 inclusive– in the National Bank, banks and non-bank financial institutions of the Republic of Belarus;

from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2021 inclusive– at the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus.

From January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2021 inclusive, old money for new money can only be exchanged at the National Bank. From January 1, 2022, banknotes of the 2000 sample will be considered invalid.

From July 1 to December 31, 2016, manufacturers, sellers, suppliers, contractors and their representatives, when providing consumers with information about the goods (works, services) offered, are required to indicate prices (tariffs) in banknotes of the 2000 sample and banknotes of the 2009 sample.

The National Bank was instructed to ensure the issuance of banknotes of the 2009 sample and the withdrawal of banknotes of the 2000 sample from circulation, taking into account the provisions of the decree.

Alexander Lukashenko spoke about the denomination of the Belarusian ruble and what the new money would be like back on April 2, 2014, while talking in Baranovichi with representatives of the workforce of OJSC 558 Aircraft Repair Plant.

Banknotes and coins of the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus put into circulation from July 1, 2016

The general concept of the design of the new banknotes corresponds to the motto "May country - Belarus". Each banknote is dedicated to one of the regions of Belarus and the city of Minsk. Correspondence of the area to the denomination of banknotes is determined in alphabetical order. The image of the banknote of 5 rubles is dedicated to the Brest region, 10 rubles to the Vitebsk region, 20 rubles to the Gomel region, 50 rubles to the Grodno region, 100 rubles to the Minsk region, 200 rubles to the Mogilev region, 500 rubles to the city of Minsk. In the design of the new banknotes of the 2009 sample, the continuity with respect to the banknote series of the 2000 sample has been preserved in terms of the use of images of architectural and urban planning monuments.

In Belarus (the locals say "Belarus") the Belarusian ruble is in circulation. In mid-February 2017, at the rate of the National Bank of the Republic, 100 Russian rubles cost a little less than 3.5 Belarusian rubles. The exchange rate of the US dollar against the local currency at the same time was 1.97.

People call Belarusian money “bunnies”. In the 1990s, representatives of the local fauna were depicted on the first banknotes of independent Belarus, and there was a hare on the ruble bill. Now the Belarusian money has a new design for several years, but the colloquial name has remained.

What to travel with from Russia

It is best to travel from Russia to Belarus with Russian rubles, and already in the country of arrival, change it to the local currency. This is advised by travel sites and people who have already visited the republic. The main reasons for this are as follows:

In Belarus, there are many exchange offices and bank branches where you can exchange currency. And this applies not only to Minsk. Exchange points can be found even in small towns.
In places where there are many tourists, exchangers are found almost at every turn. So, in the building of the Minsk railway station, at the airport there are several of them.
The exchange rate in Belarusian exchange offices is very favorable for the client.
There will be no problems with not knowing the language in Belarusian exchangers. Everyone in the republic speaks Russian.
It is rather problematic to buy Belarusian rubles in Russia, not every bank sells them, even in Moscow. This currency can be found in exchange offices, at the Belorussky railway station in particular. But in the Russian outback, the "bunny" is exotic.

Belarus also conducts a free exchange of US dollars or euros. But, of course, it is not worth buying these currencies specifically for the subsequent acquisition of "bunnies" - this is both unprofitable and unnecessary.

Cashless option

In addition to cash, it is worth taking a plastic card with you to Belarus. If you have a card from one of the international payment systems, you can freely pay in many shops and restaurants. In major cities, cards are accepted almost everywhere.

It does not matter in what currency your card is issued: in Russian rubles, dollars or euros. You can just go with your "salary". You will make a purchase in Belarusian rubles, and your bank will deduct the amount in the currency of your account. Moreover, the conversion will take place at a preferential rate.

In addition, using Visa or MasterCard cards, you can change your "card" money for Belarusian rubles at local ATMs or cash points. Again, at a favorable rate. But pay attention: there is usually a commission for withdrawing money from a “non-native” ATM. Therefore, it makes sense to immediately cash out an impressive amount, and not a couple of hundred rubles.

Please note: if the card is a credit card, then a cash withdrawal fee will be required. And it's usually pretty big. Therefore, use a credit card only for settlements in the trading network, and go to an ATM with a debit card.

Knowledgeable tourists recommend sharing the money that you plan to take with you when traveling to Belarus. Put the main amount on a plastic debit card, so that you can then conveniently pay and withdraw money from it. And for small expenses, immediately upon arrival in the republic, purchase Belarusian rubles.

And it is better not to buy "bunnies" too much. If you do not have time to spend them during the trip, you will have to go to the exchanger with them again before leaving. And in Russia it will be much more difficult to sell Belarusian money.

Just in case

In conclusion - advice from experienced travelers. Sometimes it is better if you already have some local currency in your pocket when you arrive in the country. Just in case. Even if you are going to "fraternal" Belarus.

There will be no problem if you arrive by train or plane. At major railway stations and airports, you will be able to exchange Russian money for Belarusian, usually even at night.

But it is a completely different matter if you are traveling by car. And now, when the border of the two countries is crossed, some difficulty arises. For example, drinking water runs out, gasoline runs out, or a car gets stuck. And you are in the countryside, where cards are not accepted and there are no exchangers.

You can't pay with Russian rubles anywhere. Dollars or euros - too. Well, if you only agree with someone privately. Therefore, if you manage to buy some "bunnies" before a trip to Belarus - buy it.

She left no one indifferent (by the way, if someone offers you to exchange old banknotes for new ones before this date, feel free to call the police - they are scammers!). To this day, our ruble is affectionately called the “bunny”, because it was this little animal, often found in Belarusian forests, that was depicted on the first national currency with a face value of 1 ruble. Those rubles have long been in the archives and collections of numismatists ... And what will they look like?

New banknotes are presented by Deputy Chairman of the Board of the National Bank Dmitry Lapko.

One of the first to see the new money with their own eyes, twirled in their hands and photographed by journalists. Before them yesterday the National Bank opened the doors of the Central Depository, where, with strict observance of temperature and humidity conditions, these banknotes were stored for 7 years. As Deputy Chairman of the Board of the National Bank Dmitry Lapko said, if today's banknotes are printed in Russia, then our new money was produced by a company from Great Britain. Coins were minted at the Lithuanian Mint and in the Slovak "Kremnica".

Why is this design

Continuity has been preserved in the design of the new banknotes - images of architectural and urban planning monuments have been used. By the way, for all the similarity of the new Belarusian banknotes to the euro, this is their main difference. There are no architectural monuments on the euro. And the fact that our money is colorful, and the dollar has been more and more decorated lately.

All denominations of the new Belarusian banknotes differ in size - one is 4 mm larger than the other (135 mm x 72 mm 5 rubles and 159 x 72 mm 500 rubles), and in color - from orange and reddish-brown (5 rubles) to blue-emerald-pink (500 rubles). The general principle: as the denomination grows, “the color scheme of banknotes is distributed from warm and simple to more complex and cold,” Svetlana Nekrasova, chief specialist of the National Bank, clarified the color nuances. On the front side of the banknotes, architectural monuments of Belarus are depicted, on the back - significant periods of the country's history. From ancient settlements, one of which has been preserved in the Brest region, to the present. Such topics, according to the developers, are patriotic and have great cognitive significance, fixing in the minds of specific ideas about the country, its regions, and the cultural wealth of the nation. Correspondence of areas to face value is chosen alphabetically. The front sides of the banknotes present an artistic picture of the monument with its elements. For example, the texture of the brick and masonry of the Kamenets Vezha is the handwriting left by the artists on the 5-ruble banknote. And on the reverse side, iconic and characteristic artifacts were selected for each area. For example, the Vitebsk region is presented as the birthplace of book printing and enlightenment.

Protection

The design of the new money is a tribute to security and banknote recognition technology. Our new money became bright, colorful and meaningful not only at the behest of artists and historians. Marina Demina, Chief Specialist of the Main Department of Cash Circulation of the National Bank, noted that money is, first of all, a bank note with security features. Banknotes are printed on special paper, which itself is protected from counterfeiting. In addition, there are security features visible to the naked eye. This is, say, the presence of a watermark on an unprinted field, which most often corresponds to the plot of the image. All banknotes have a metallic thread with text. In the light, it is a continuous dark stripe. There are also special drawings on the unsealed field. This is a part of the fragments on the front side and on the back, which are combined into a single whole when viewed through the light and correspond to the denomination of the banknote.

Only 6 visible degrees of protection. Plus, there are a lot of invisible elements that are revealed only to banks and narrow specialists.

For the visually impaired

There are tags for visually impaired people. They are located in the lower left corner, different in shape and shape, printed using a special technology and are well distinguished by touch. Large numbers of the denomination in contrast with the main color of the field will also not allow you to confuse banknotes.

Why coins

Belarus turned out to be the only European country where there are no coins. It was decided to correct this shortcoming. For several reasons. First. Coin life - 10 - 15 years, small banknotes - 6 - 12 months. And this is at best, because the banknote can be easily damaged by the inscription. Second. The appearance of coins is a serious bid to reduce inflation. From January to September, in annual terms, price growth decreased from 17.1 to 11.9 percent. In 2016, prices will rise by a maximum of 12 percent, and in 5 years inflation will be curbed to 5%.

The smallest denomination of the current banknote of 100 rubles will correspond to one kopeck. On its obverse, as well as on all small change coins introduced into circulation, the state emblem is depicted, on the reverse - numbers denoting face values. Plus, the reverse side of 1, 2 and 5 kopecks is complemented by an ornament symbolizing wealth and prosperity, on 10, 20 and 50 kopecks - a symbol of fertility and vitality, on one- and two-ruble coins - happiness and freedom.

Coins are also protected. Like banknotes, they are of different diameters. 1 kopeck - 15 mm, this is a steel alloy coated with copper, the color is red. Exactly the same, but larger in diameter, two- and five-kopeck coins. But 10, 20 and 50 kopecks are yellow, because they are made of steel alloy coated with copper and brass. 1 ruble - white due to copper-nickel coating. A two-ruble coin is two-colored, the largest in diameter is 23.5 mm, weighs 5.81 grams, and is 2 mm thick. It is made of a double combination of alloys - copper-brass and copper-nickel. In addition, the coins have a special edge (rim) with notches of a certain size. There are also small details of the ornament, which are difficult to reproduce in artisanal conditions.

How much does a denomination cost

Deputy Chairman of the Board of the National Bank Dmitry Lapko announced the approximate cost of manufacturing one banknote and coin - from 1 to 4 euro cents. Although it is difficult to talk today about the costs incurred in 2008-2009. To replace the 600 million banknotes of the 2000 model, only 80 million copies of new banknotes and 400 million coins will be required. The new banknote series is 7 times smaller. Therefore, according to forecasts, the cost of storage, packaging, transportation, counting, delivery of money to the end consumer will be seriously reduced. In addition, the National Bank promises to take a restrained approach to issuing large denomination banknotes into circulation.

How will ATMs work?

From July 1, it will be necessary to reprogram ATMs, equip coin acceptors in those devices where they are not, but should be. You can't do it all at the same time. Therefore, at first, ATMs will issue both old and new banknotes. In addition, within six months, any seller will be able to accept new banknotes from you, and give change to old ones.

How to pay

From July 1 to December 31, 2016, inclusive, banknotes of the 2000 sample, as well as banknotes and coins of the 2009 sample, will be in parallel circulation and will be mandatory for acceptance when making all types of payments by all business entities.

Where to change

For the next five years - from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2021 inclusive - old banknotes will be exchanged for new ones. Until December 31, 2019 inclusive - in the National Bank, banks and non-bank financial institutions, from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2021 inclusive - in the National Bank. And only from January 1, 2022, the current money will become invalid.

How ruble deposits and loans will be recalculated, what will be the balance on the card on July 1, 2016

This technical issue, the National Bank promises, should not bring any inconvenience to the population. On July 1, 2016, the bank card balance will be shown in new money, that is, without four zeros. All amounts of deposits and loans will change. If you took a loan for 10,000,000 rubles, then on July 1 it will turn into 1,000 rubles. If there were 50,000,000 rubles on the ruble deposit, then on July 1 it will be 5,000 rubles. By a similar principle, during the denomination, salaries, pensions, scholarships, cash balances in bank accounts, balance sheets of enterprises and institutions will be recalculated.

Will prices rise due to denomination

From July 1 to December 31, 2016, for the period of parallel circulation of old and new banknotes, business entities will be required to indicate two prices - old and new. This is done on purpose so that there is no temptation to round the price up.

Why did you decide to remove exactly four zeros

The question of savings. The less money in circulation, the lower the costs. The introduction of small change coins will also have a positive impact on the cost of servicing cash.

By the way

According to the decision of the Board of the National Bank, the reproduction of banknotes can be carried out under certain conditions: with a one-sided image of the carrier, the size of the copy must be less than 75% or more than 125% of the actual size of the banknote. For duplex playback, less than 50% or more than 200%. Coins can also be printed for souvenir purposes on any tangible and intangible media, with the exception of metal alloys. Plastic, for example.

Since July 1, 2016, denomination has been carried out in Belarus in accordance with Decree No. 450 “On the denomination of the official currency of the Republic of Belarus”.

During its 23-year history, the Belarusian national currency has already lost zeros twice. The "bunnies", which appeared in 1992, "cut their ears" almost immediately - in 1994. The denomination of the currency then decreased by only 10 times.

The denomination on July 1, 2016 is the largest for the entire existence of the new Belarus. Old money will be exchanged for new in the ratio of 10 thousand rubles to 1 ruble. That means we're going to be denominated 10,000 times.

Will the life of Belarusians change much in connection with this denomination? This is an article.

Old and new money will be in circulation until the end of 2016. In the next three years, old money can be changed at banks, and until December 31, 2021, at the National Bank.

The largest new banknote of 500 rubles corresponds to the old 5 million ($250 at the exchange rate of 2016), and the smallest monetary unit has become one kopeck, which corresponds to the old 100 rubles.

In total, since July 1, seven denominations of banknotes have been put into circulation - 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500 rubles, and eight denominations of coins - 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 kopecks, as well as - 1 and 2 ruble. Documents of the National Bank on denomination (https://www.nbrb.by/CoinsBanknotes/denomination/mainq).

This is the third denomination of the Belarusian ruble. Previous bank notes, which are now being exchanged for new rubles, were in circulation for 16 years (http://naviny.by/rubrics/finance/2016/07/01/ic_articles_114_192010/).

Denomination - why?

The reason is quite simple: there is a huge amount of money in circulation today, and people experience significant inconvenience in connection with this.

Against the backdrop of a rapid increase in prices over the past few years, not a single denomination of more than 200 thousand rubles has appeared. At the same time, several million are needed to purchase some goods (for example, household appliances). That is, the buyer must come to the store with pockets full of money. In the truest sense of these words.

In a few years of runaway inflation, a decline in incomes and an increase in the tax burden, prices have risen to fantastic proportions. You can pay for coffee in a restaurant with the help of several tens of thousands of rubles, and the salary, it turns out, is several million rubles. That is, Berasus is approaching Zimbabwe at such a pace, where a loaf of bread costs several million Zimbabwean dollars.

Carrying out a denomination is a forced step, only it eliminates the symptoms, and not the root causes of such phenomena in the economy.

But there is reason to believe that another scenario may underlie the current monetary reform in Belarus. Recently, the positions of supporters of tough neoliberal reforms and rapprochement with the West have significantly strengthened in the presidential entourage and government. It seems that after the recent presidential elections and the temporary lifting of EU sanctions against top Belarusian officials and companies, this vector is beginning to prevail.

November 3, 2015 At the economic forum “The Economy of Belarus: Again Before a Choice,” Presidential Aide Kirill Rudy and First Deputy Minister of Economy Alexander Zaborovsky made proposals for a real “shock therapy” for Belarus in 2016. And if it is their approaches to actually curtailing state support for enterprises, avoiding state regulation, large-scale job cuts and Westernization of the country that are adopted by the head of state, then the current denomination will become an organic part of this liberal-pro-Western turn.

The National Bank has already announced plans to reduce inflation. But if strict monetarist rules are applied to the new Belarusian ruble and, as a result of cuts in social and government spending, as well as anti-inflationary measures of the National Bank, its relatively firm rate is set, then importers supplying their goods to the Belarusian market will undoubtedly benefit. For Western corporations, their intermediaries and lobbyists in the republic, this approach is just what the doctor ordered. Or, to be more precise, shock therapy specialists from the IMF and the EU.

Pursuing a monetary policy, one of the instruments of which may be the new Belarusian ruble, can also significantly facilitate the process of integration of Belarus with the EU countries.

It is no coincidence that the Republic of Belarus adopted a new banking code, developed taking into account the recommendations of international financial institutions. This code, on the one hand, makes the National Bank an independent entity, little dependent on the Council of Ministers, but it also limits direct lending by the National Bank to industrial enterprises in Belarus.

Be that as it may, even ordinary citizens of Belarus, who are poorly versed in financial strategies, do not expect special "carrots" from the denomination. They know one law of the market well: the cost of gingerbread and other goods will definitely creep up in the event of the forthcoming rounding of prices. And the amount of cash in their wallets is down.

Who sees the problems?

Experts currently see the main problems in errors in calculations when using cards, ATMs and their wallets. Basically, they teach how to go shopping with new prices and how not to get confused in zeros (http://www.kp.by/daily/26549.4/3565158/).

The problem of possible devaluation is mentioned in the publications very reservedly, in passing:

There is also psychology here. And let the authorities assure as much as they like that the denomination is an exclusively technical process (the way it is), but the rise in price of the dollar by 3-4 kopecks a day will be perceived much more calmly than its rise in price by 300-400 rubles. Although in the end it's the same.

Whether the authorities will take advantage of this opportunity, we will see later. In the meantime, the very presence of a 500-ruble note among the new banknotes is frightening. The old ones are 5 million. The logical question is why such a high denomination if, according to the five-year forecast until 2020, inflation will drop to 5% (https://charter97.org/ru/news/2016/6/28/211022/)?

New prices and economic theories

The leadership of Belarus has an understanding that business can take advantage (as was the case with other denominations, including in the USSR and Russia), by raising food prices. The President noted after the approval of the new money:

Against the backdrop of denomination, a rapid rise in inflation is possible. The experience of conducting denominations in Belarus, Russia and the Khrushchev USSR suggests that dealers will still raise prices. For example, if an item cost 19,900, then after the denomination its cost will be 1.99 rubles. For ease of calculation, sellers will deliberately round the price to 2 rubles. And here no leadership of any country can keep the situation under the financial policy that is dominant today and liberal economic theories that control the minds of officials and economists.

What is the problem of the modern economic system? To answer this question, to begin with, we propose to consider what approaches to the study and organization of the economy exist.

On two classes of economic theories

All possible and currently known economic theories are divided into two classes:

The first describe the economy of society, implying the need to answer the question "how can a private entrepreneur fill his pockets in legal ways."
The latter describe the economy of society, implying the use of economic relations in society as a means of achieving some other, non-economic in their essence, goals.

The first theories form the basis of financial and economic education in all countries with developed traditions of a market economy and represent the so-called "economy for clerks", forming a cadre of those whose hands carry out essentially non-economic goals. These theories are united by a common approach to the organization of the national economy, based on the calculation of the financial indicators of the economy, and which is therefore called financial accounting approach. It dominates the economy today. And that is why all the forecasts of all experts contain in one form or another the understanding that “inflation and devaluation will continue” regardless of the denomination or its absence and differ only in numerical estimates of this general rate. Denominations are inevitable in such a system, as a financial system based on usurious lending rates drives up inflation by adding and adding zeros to the depreciating currencies of countries. The denomination in such a system is natural, therefore, experts do not talk about how to build a system so that there is no need for a denomination in the future, but about when it will inevitably (in their understanding and in this system) be.

Economic theories of the second kind in countries with developed market economies do not find expression in the system of financial and economic education. They represent the personal economic and financial opinions of the top managers of successful firms, as well as the traditions of the families of banking and industrial magnates (on a global scale, about 350 - 400 families, of which about 50 families within the United States). All this, coupled with theoretically non-formalized life and professional skills, is the so-called "economy for the owners."

In these economic theories it is necessary to answer such questions as:

how society generates needs, and what are they in terms of the consequences of their satisfaction?
what to produce in conditions of limited resources and production capacities, i.e. what is the priority of different types of products and industries?
in what quantities to produce?
based on what technologies?
how to distribute products and natural goods?
how to ensure the environmental safety of the production-consumer system?

At the same time, the answers to these and many other questions are largely determined by the policy (both internal and external), the implementation of which the economic system of society one way or another must ensure economically through the organization of technological chains and their interconnections, so this approach to building the national economy called - organizational and technological approach.

Since financial circulation only accompanies the production and consumer product exchange and the provision of access to natural goods, which, due to various kinds of socially determined reasons, are not free - in the organizational and technological approach, the credit and financial system(together with the legislation regulating financial circulation) appears as one of many macro-level management tools in the economic system of a society (besides it, macro-level management tools are, in particular: a system of standards, business ethics, a chart of accounts).

But today's political forces in many countries, for the most part, are engaged in adaptation, adjustment to the financial climate created by the "masters" of the global economic system.

Our Union State through the Eurasian Union, SCO, BRICS is only preparing the ground for the transition to an organizational and technological approach to the economy, and this often happens against the will and consciousness of the majority of the bureaucracy, burdened with liberal views by the forces of initiative individuals who understand what and how to do . The illness of “elite” liberalism is one of the biggest dangers for us and our future, since liberals do not realize the information and algorithmic integrity of the economy, as a certain set of objects interconnected by a single algorithm and information links, presenting it to themselves for the most part as an endless sea of finance, along which they sail on their boats, boats and ships of various sizes of companies, trying to sail to more profitable places, bypassing storms and crises.

Functional diagram of the interconnections of sectors of the national economy

This is how the general scheme of branches of the national economy looks like, but you will not find this scheme in any course of today's education system. In different disciplines, they show different blocks, at most, the relationships between neighboring blocks, but do not describe the entire integrity of the national economy, which gives rise to the inadequacy of the worldview of many people in matters of management, including liberals.

What does the education system teach us? Separate fragments, separate interconnections, but not the entire integrity of the national economy! But the understanding that the national economy is a closed (absolutely on a global scale) production-consumer system, which should be regulated accordingly (and is actually regulated behind the scenes through the balance sheets of corporations) by inter-industry and inter-regional balances of product exchange and financial exchange.

And the modern education system at the same time generates a kaleidoscopic picture of the economy in the minds of people and similar to the above-described "boundless" ideas about it. That is why the liberals, burdened with economic theories “for clerks”, do not perceive themselves, united by common algorithms of behavior, as integrity, as an information-algorithmic aggregate. However, those who understand the generality of the information and algorithmic support of the liberals' thinking can set the goal of managing this integrity as a single object. To do this, you just need to know how this set of individuals will statistically react to this or that information.

By giving the necessary signals, it is possible to transfer them to one or another mode of functioning, which happens through information injections, there would be a reason.

Conclusion

Recognition of the fact that the meaning of existence and social utility of economic units in relation to the interests of the population of Belarus is achieved only as part of the economic and political complex called "The national economy of Belarus (or larger - the Union State, the EAEU)" as a whole, means that within of this complex, a network of money circulation channels should be built, each of which has a certain functional purpose in the life and development of this complex in the continuity of generations.

This is exactly what F.D. Roosevelt tried to do in the USA during the Great Depression. This system cannot develop by itself under the influence of the pricing laws of the “free market”.

Especially if this “market” is open to any actions on it by various kinds of foreign entities at their unrestricted discretion. It must be built meaningfully and expediently to protect against this very “free” market of the population and the process of social development. And this circumstance brings us back to the intersectoral and interregional balances of product exchange and financial exchange and leads to the question of the contribution of each administratively independent enterprise (as well as their associations) to this overall balance.

Otherwise, we will live in a state of constant “inflation and devaluation” in anticipation of the next crisis, from time to time carrying out denominations so as not to frighten the population with the burden of accumulated zeros, but in fact - inflation, the system generator of which is the loan interest.

At the same time, it is also necessary to recognize that the economic and political complex called the "National Economy" can successfully develop only as a result of the successful development of the vast majority of its constituent elements. Those. A healthy body can only be made up of healthy cells.

I'll tell you a secret that our man is not even afraid of domestic politics, simply because he does not understand it. No matter how you pester him, he will still think that this is not “internal politics”, but simply divine permission, like pestilence, famine, floods, with the only difference that this time the embodiment of this permission is a pompadour. Does he need to understand what domestic politics is? - opinions on this matter may differ; but I, for my part, say bluntly: beware, gentlemen! because as soon as a man understands what internal politics is - n-i-ni, c'est fini! [it's over!] (Saltykov-Shchedrin "Pompadours and Pompadours"

In the 19th century, it was permissible for a Russian peasant not to know and not understand what “internal politics” was.
At present, it is necessary to know and understand both domestic and foreign and global politics.
The chances that the Belarusian and Great Russian peasants will learn to understand this are extinguished by the imposition of various "traditions", myths, dogmas; coding education "book wisdom", and just frank, daily brainwashing.

Therefore, everyone needs to educate themselves in order to bring closer a full-fledged transition to an organizational and technological approach to the management of the national economy.

On July 1, 2016, for the first time, citizens of the Republic will pick up new banknotes and coins. So far we have only seen sketches on the screens, but some idea is already taking shape.

Banknotes of seven denominations will appear in circulation: 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 rubles, and eight coins: 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 kopecks, 1 and 2 rubles.

The size of banknotes is not too different from those that we have become accustomed to since 2000 - 150 × 74 mm. The semantic content, in general, is the same: architecture, national patterns, but the design has become more “European”. This is understandable - in Europe, there is a manufacturer of banknotes that won the competition of the National Bank (where exactly - has not yet been reported).

It also follows from the statement that there are no plans to create a mint in Belarus, the production is too expensive, obviously not profitable for a small state. By the way, from the same source we managed to find out that the production of one banknote or coin ranges from 1 to 4 euro cents, i.e. coins of 1 kopeck, at the current rate, are almost half the cost.

It should be noted that both coins and banknotes were printed back in 2009, as evidenced by the signature of the then head of the National Bank, P.P. Inconsistencies are promised to be eliminated in the manufacture of the next batches of banknotes.

The money printed in 2009 could have been put into circulation earlier, but this was prevented by the global economic crisis and too high in the Belarusian economy in subsequent years. I am also glad that the costs of money production have already been incurred, although there remain costs for the exchange, changes in accounting, reconfiguration of ATMs and other equipment.

By the way, the question of the future operation of ATMs (especially during the transition period) is still open: only with new money or in parallel with the old ones? with or without coins?

Returning to the design of new money, we note that the images on seven banknotes are correct, i.e. alphabetically, distributed among the regions: five-ruble notes are dedicated to the Brest region; ten-rouble notes - Vitebsk; twenty - Gomel; banknote of fifty rubles - Grodno; hundred-ruble - Minsk; two-hundred-ruble - Mogilev region; and the largest of five hundred rubles - to the city of Minsk.

The reverse side of the banknotes is filled with historical and cultural symbols, already without explicit reference to the geography of the country and the image on the front side.

The design of the coins may resemble the metal money of the Soviet period, and the two-ruble note is made up of two metals of different colors, like the euro.

On the front side of all the coins there is the coat of arms of the Republic, on the back there are national symbols. All banknotes are marked in 2009.

Not too much information about the new money has appeared, but something can be seen already now:

The largest bill of 500 rubles(5 million for today's money).

On the front side: National Library, Prokopovich's signature, year of issue, banknote denomination in numbers and words, a straight cross in the lower left corner, a rectangular sign resembling a door above it, the inscription "RB" on the right, translucent images and a metal strip for better counterfeit protection.

On the reverse side - the denomination in digits, the serial number of the banknote in two places, and a composition on the theme of literature: a quill, an inkwell, a book, as well as a flower and a fern branch. Probably, not all symbols on the new banknotes will be understandable to a simple layman, but they are certainly not accidental.

200 rubles- the general structure of the front and back sides remains the same, the color solution shifts towards purple. On the front side - the Mogilev Regional Art Museum named after P.V. Maslennikov, in the lower left corner, instead of a straight cross, there is an image of a rectangle above it, similar to a door.

On the reverse side - a collage on the theme of urban planning and crafts: the seal of Mogilev and a golden key, a tile, a forged lattice, images of houses.

100 ruble bill: The Radziwill Castle in Nesvizh, in the corner instead of a cross is a rhombus, above it is a rectangle.

On the reverse side there are musical instruments, Slutsk belts, the Batleyka puppet theater, a goat and a Christmas carol. The common theme is ethnography, folk holidays. The color scheme is closer to turquoise.

50 rubles- on the front side: Mir Castle, in the lower left corner there is a triangle, above it there is a picture similar to a “false window”, just like there are many in Mir Castle.

On the back - a composition on the theme of art: pen, paper, lyre, notes and laurel branches. Light green colors predominate in the design.

20 rubles. On the front side: the Rumyantsev-Paskevich Palace in Gomel, in the corner - a square, above it - a window.

On the reverse side: bell, Turov Gospel, carving, views of Turov in antiquity. The common theme is spirituality. The color of the banknote is rather sandy.

10 rubles. Front side: Church of the Transfiguration in Polotsk. An example of ancient Polotsk architecture of the 12th century, a contemporary of St. Euphrosyne of Polotsk. In the lower left corner is a circle, above it is an image of a tall window.

The main theme of the reverse side is enlightenment and printing. Depicted: Cross of Efrosinya of Polotsk, books, print of Francysk Skaryna. The color of the banknote is closer to blue with gold.

5 rubles- the smallest of the banknotes. On the front side - Belaya Vezha in Kamenets (Brest region) - a defensive structure of the 13th century, a rare example of the Romanesque style for Belarus. In the corner there is a “-” sign, above it is an element of the fortress wall.

The reverse side of the banknote is dedicated to ancient Slavic history, depicts a wheel, a leather belt, a reconstruction of the ancient fortified settlement Berestye. The general background is perhaps the color of ocher, brick.

Coins will also appear in circulation:

Coins of 1 and 2 rubles made of silver gray metal. 2 ruble has a yellow rim.

On the obverse (front side) of the coins there is the coat of arms of Belarus and the number "2009".

On the reverse (back side) there is a denomination and an ornament embodying the desire for happiness and freedom. These ornaments on 1 and 2 rubles are different, but the semantic load is the same.

Kopeks, depending on the denomination, are divided into two colors, as in the Soviet Union, although there is no exact match.

Small: 1, 2 and 5 kopecks- similar to copper 10, 20, 50 kopecks- golden hue.

From May 20, 2019, updated banknotes of the 2009 sample with a face value of 5 and 10 Belarusian rubles of 2019 will be put into circulation. This decision was made by Resolution of the Board of the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus dated April 24, 2019 No. 183 as part of the ongoing measures to replace dilapidated banknotes being withdrawn from circulation and optimize the security complex of banknotes in circulation.
