Brett asks: I see so many Soviet Era Rubles dated 1961. Were they all printed in 1961 or different dates throughout identified by serial number? Thank you!
Expert's answer:
Soviet banknotes, issued in monetary circulation at the beginning of 1961, existed for exactly 30 years without any noticeable changes. Collectors subdivide them into the so-called "series", depending on the letter series affixed before the seven-digit number.
