Cultural Insight: The Abkhazian Currency[edit | edit source]
In Abkhazia, the official currency is the Abkhazian apsar (symbol: ₳). The apsar was introduced in 2008 as a replacement for the Russian ruble, which had been the primary currency in circulation since the collapse of the Soviet Union. The name "apsar" is derived from the historical Abkhazian gold coin, which was used during the medieval period.
The apsar is subdivided into 100 kopecks, although due to limited circulation, kopecks are rarely used in daily transactions. Banknotes are available in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 apsars, while coins are available in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, and 50 kopecks.
When visiting Abkhazia, it is advisable to exchange your currency for apsars at official currency exchange offices or banks. While some establishments may accept foreign currencies, it is generally more convenient to use the local currency for transactions.
