The Russian Ruble is the official currency of the Russian Federation, symbolized by "₽." It is issued by the Central Bank of Russia and is one of the world’s oldest national currencies still in use, dating back to the 14th century. The ruble plays a significant role in global energy markets, given Russia's major oil and gas exports. It is informally referred to as "ruble" or "kopecks" (for its subunits).
