Transnistria, Trans-Dniestr or Transdniestria or whatever name or spelling you want to use. Transnistria, a strip of land, is a breakaway state that is located between Moldova on the left and Ukraine on the right. Following the breakup of the Soviet Union empire, Transnistria declared independence in 1990 and then fought a brief war with Moldova in 1992 as it did not want to be part of Moldova. These 4 notes of 1, 5, 10 and 25 Rubles (full set) were released in 2014, celebrating the nation's 20th Year of National Currency, the Transnistrian Ruble. These commemorative notes were issued in separate folders and are limited to 2020 sets only. The designs for these notes are the same as current issues but with commemorative text (1994-2014) overprint added. Here, the four notes that I have posted all have matching serial numbers. The folders are printed on an A4 size and it's folded into 3 equal parts. There are no plastic sleeves to hold the note on each folder, but instead on the center of the folder there are two U shape cuts to allow the note to be "clipped" onto, if you want to. I personally suggest that you do not do that as in the long run, the notes may get damaged with indented marks on the notes (both top and bottom edges). I am not sure what language the folder is printed with (Russian or Cyrillic/Moldovan alphabet) but there is no English to translate them. The official languages in Transnistria are Russian, Romanian and Ukrainian. Other than to a collector, the Transnistrian Ruble has little or no negotiation value outside it's territory. Transnistria is not a member of the United Nations and is not recognised by any of the United Nations member states.
