READING 2. Read the text and mark the statements True (T), False (F), Not Stated (NS). Text: “History of the Rouble”. The rouble has been the currency in Russia for 500 years. The name “rouble” is thought to come from the Russian word for “chop”, referring to the way a section was cut off a silver ingot. Each section had a different value according to its weight. Since December 2013 the official symbol for the Ruble is ₽. The Cyrillic letter Р with a single added horizontal stroke, though the abbreviation “руб.” is in wide use. In 1710 the rouble was first divided into kopeks, 100 of which made up a rouble. Historically, it was a name for the first Russian three-rouble gold coin issued for general circulation in 1701. The current meaning comes from the Soviet golden chervonets issued in 1923. All these names are no longer in use, however. [Statements are not visible in the image.]
