Russia Plans Stable Currency With Hard Money Reform
The Moscow correspondent reports Russia will issue small silver coins of 10, 15 and 20 kopeks to replace czarist coins, with 1 3 and 5 kopek notes possibly used until minted. A fixed gold ruble exchange will exist for soviet rubles, and three currencies will circulate: chervonetz for abroad credit, state gold notes, and the new hard money coins. Tax on restaurant bills rises up to 20 percent, while vodka production and exports surge under the state alcohol trust. The Trans-Siberian Express is to be restored, with a weekly Vladivostok to Moscow service from April, and Murmansk port grows as foreign interest increases. Moscow celebrates its 25th telephone anniversary with expanding links to other cities.
