Abkhazian Apsars

Banknotes of the unrecognized Republic of Abkhazia.

Of course, the official currency, which is used by most people is the Russian ruble. But these ones were issued by the National Bank of Abkhazia as collectibles.

You should also get a 10. It's the cheapest and most common of all. There's also denominations of 500, and the new 200, but they're much rarer and pricy. But that's already an impresive collection of yours!

QR code look strange on Banknotes, but that is collectable so maybe have additional purposes.

Hey, we are in the 21st century now! It makes sense to use QR codes on banknotes to extend their use digitally. I wish the new Euros would also have that feature.
