General information: 1997 - 2004 Issues
With the exception of the new 5,000-ruble denomination (although dated 1997, it was not issued until 2006), these notes are like the preceding issues, but with windowed security threads on back, revised vignettes with color moiré patterns on front, and microperforations on notes 100 rubles and higher. The 5-ruble denomination was replaced by a coin, so it isn’t included in this family.
On 22 October 2009, the bank announced that in 2010 it would replace the 10-ruble banknote in favor of a coin.
