Transnistrian Ruble
The rubla ( ro, рублэ, rublă, , plural ruble; russian: рубль) is the currency of Transnistria and is divided into 100 ''kopecks''.

The Transnistrian Republican Bank sometimes uses the code RUP, a code reserved for Russia (ISO 3166-1 country code "RU"). First rubla (1994) Soviet banknotes were used in the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic after its formation in 1990. When the former Soviet republics began issuing their own currencies, Transnistria was flooded with Soviet roubles.
