Money

Russian currency is the rouble (?), written as or abbreviated as . In one rouble, there are 100
kopecks , written or . It is illegal to use any other currency than the rouble.

ATMs on international networks are widely available, though they sometimes run out of
cash on weekends. Look for signs for a bankomat (). Some ATMs dispense US dollars or
euros, in addition to roubles.

Credit cards, especially Visa and Mastercard, are also widely accepted. US travellers may
have some difficulty if they don't have a chip-and-pin credit card. This is more of an issue at
local shops, as opposed to hotels and restaurants.

US dollars and euros are now widely accepted at exchange bureaus around Moscow. (Bring
your passport.) Travellers cheques are not recommended.
