Belarus Banknotes Catalog
The history of banknotes in Belarus reflects the political and economic changes the country has experienced over time. Since its independence in 1991, Belarus has issued several series of banknotes, each with unique characteristics that represent the national culture and identity.
Current banknotes in circulation
The current banknotes of Belarus belong to the series issued in 2016. This series includes denominations of 5, 10, 20, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500 Belarusian rubles. Each banknote features modern designs highlighting important monuments and places in the country, such as the Palace of Independence in Minsk on the 100 ruble bill. In addition, these banknotes feature advanced security measures, including watermarks, security threads and color-changing inks.
Old banknotes and relevant facts
Prior to the current series, Belarus used several banknote issues. The first independent series was introduced in 1992, with the Belarusian ruble replacing the Soviet ruble. In 2000, a major redenomination of the currency took place, removing four zeros from the face value of the banknotes. A significant milestone in Belarusian notafilia was the 2009 issue, which featured banknotes with artistic designs inspired by the country's history and culture, including depictions of medieval castles and important historical figures.
