The ruble ( _tg. рубл) was the currency of Tajikistan between May 10, 1995 and October 29, 2000 [cite web | author= National Bank of Tajikistan | url= http://www.nbt.tj/en/?c=3&id=3 | title= Banknotes and coins | accessdate=2007-05-19] . It was subdivided into 100 "tanga", although no coins or banknotes were issued denominated in tanga.

History

Like other republics of the former Soviet Union, Tajikistan continued using Soviet/Russian ruble after independence. On July 26, 1993, a new series of Russian ruble was issued and old Soviet/Russian ruble ceased to be legal tender in Russia [http://www.globalfinancialdata.com/index.php3?action=showghoc&country_name=Russia The Global History of Currencies - Russia] ] . In Tajikistan, pre-1993 Russian rubles ceased to be legal tender on 8 January, 1994 [http://users.erols.com/kurrency/asia.htm Tables of modern monetary history: Asia] ] . On May 10, 1995, the Tajikistani ruble replaced the Russian ruble at a rate of 1 Tajikistani ruble = 100 Russian rubles.

Among the republics of the former Soviet Union, Tajikistan was the last to issue its own currency. Even Transnistria, a not-recognized state, issued its own ruble before Tajikistan did.

On October 30, 2000, the somoni, were introduced and replaced the ruble with 1 somoni = 1000 ruble.

Coin

Only one commemorative coin was issued for Tajikistani ruble.
