Remember my post a couple days ago about the plastic coins of Transnistria? Well, look what I got in my mail today!

Damn, they are so cute and colorful 🥰😍

In case you missed my previous post, these plastic coins are actual real money used in Transnistria, an unrecognised breakaway state that is internationally recognised as a part of Moldova.

After playing a bit with them, I can say they feel like hiqh quality poker chips. The plastic composite has a paper like feel, they are super light and despite putting a lot of force on them with my thumb, they barely bend. Only to return back to normal immediately.

As you can see, I got a full set of 1,3,5 and 10 Transnistria rubles, so a total of 19 rubles, for which I paid 5 euros plus 2 for postal fee. Probably a bit too much for a currency with super limited recognition but it was worth it just for the novelty :)

Something I forgot to mention the other day is that the portraits featured on these coins are from various Russian historic figures connected to the history of the country:

  • Alexander Vasilyevich Suvorov, yellow 1 ruble coin
  • François-Paul Sainte de Wollant, green 3 ruble coin
  • Count Pyotr Alexandrovich Rumyantsev, blue 5 rubles coin
  • Catherine the Great, red 10 rubles coin

Ok, time to put my new friends back to their condom!

In case you got jelly and want a set for yourself just search for them on eBay, amazon or whatever. They are pretty much everywhere and you can find a full set for anywhere from 5 to 20 euros.

Finer that they have already arrived to you They are beautiful, but I still wonder if they melt easily when you put them in the fire, they are a novelty.

It’s really strange to see plastic coin money. But the Canadian bill money has be plastic for years now. So I guess it’s coming.

It's great that you have photos of those plastic coins with the 2023 Hive Silver Round! I have a point of reference. Intrinsic value-wise, those coins are nothing compared to your silver round. But they are so cute and colorful, @trumpman!

I remember that you recently shared about these plastic coins. These coins look good and cool but not as durable as metal. So you are collecting them as well

Just for the novelty. They are one of a kind and cheap, so why not!

While modern techy Transnistrian coins can be cool.
I'm more on the old fashioned side as far as Rooshin silver is concerned. спасибо @trumpman

Nice. The plastic money looks like just something to collect. I am not sure if it will have value though.

Hope that in maximum 2 years this would be coins that are not used anywhere in the world, just for amusement. I like silver from real countries, not some phukin puppet states 🤡

Those coins are so cool! I love the colors and the portraits. It's amazing that they're actually real money, even if they're not widely recognized.

I'm glad you were able to get a set for yourself.
