$200 Bill !!

One can look at Russian currency and get an understand of their spending habits.  If you want further proof of the fact that Russians like to spend big, then I present to you their $200 Bill.   That's right - the Russian 5,000 ruble note, a standard/regular bill that circulates commonly and is accepted everywhere, is worth close to $200 ($186 to be exact).   This thing can buy you a lot of caviar, subway rides, petrol, fruit, smoked fish, or electronics !!
