Since the Soviet monetary reform in 1991 had left a negative memory by the three-day exchange of 50 and 100-rouble notes, the new exchange was held progressively, until 2002. All redenominated coins of the Central Bank of Russia (1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 roubles and collectible), unlike in the previous two denominations, ceased to be legal tender.
The first part of the reform was to redenominate the ruble at a ratio of 10 to 1. All prices and salaries would be dealt at one new ruble for every 10 old rubles. Copper coins of 1, 2, 3 and 5 old kopeks were not exchanged: amounts less than one new kopek (or 10 old kopeks) were rounded downwards for essential goods, and upward for the rest.
It is usually the smallest denomination within a currency system; 100 kopeks are worth 1 ruble or 1 hryvnia. Originally, the kopeck was the currency unit of Imperial Russia, the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic and then the Soviet Union (as the Soviet ruble). As of 2020, it is the currency unit of Russia, Belarus and Ukraine.
