 The union of Russia and Belarus , a supranational confederation , was established in a 1996 – 99 series of treaties that called for monetary union , equal rights , single citizenship , and a common foreign and defense policy .

 For example , in March 2009 , as a result of the late @-@ 2000s financial crisis , the People 's Republic of China and the Russian Federation pressed for urgent consideration of a new international reserve currency and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development proposed greatly expanding the I.M.F.

 The unmarked bills from the robbery were easy to exchange , but the serial numbers of the 500 @-@ ruble notes were known to the authorities , making them impossible to exchange in Russian banks . By the end of 1907 , Lenin decided to exchange the remaining 500 @-@ ruble notes abroad . Krasin had his forger try to change some of the serial numbers . Two hundred of these notes were transported abroad by Martyn Lyadov ( they were sewn into his vest by the wives of Lenin and Bogdanov at Lenin 's headquarters in Kuokkala ) . Lenin 's plan was to have various individuals exchange the stolen 500 @-@ ruble notes simultaneously at a number of banks throughout Europe . Zhitomirsky heard of the plan and reported it to the Okhrana , who contacted police departments throughout Europe asking them to arrest anyone who tried to cash the notes .

 A new currency , the new Belarusian ruble ( ISO 4217 code : BYN ) was introduced in July 2016 , replacing the Belarusian ruble in a rate of 1 : 10 @,@ 000 ( 10 @,@ 000 old rubles = 1 new ruble ) . From July 1 until December 31 , 2016 , the old and new currencies will be in parallel circulation and series 2000 notes and coins can be exchanged for series 2009 from January 1 , 2017 to 31 December 2021 . This redenomination can be considered an effort to fight the high inflation rate .
