Hi Alex: Russia May Mint Gold Rubles

Report: Russia May Mint Gold Rubles

MOSCOW (AP) -- Russia's Central Bank is considering minting a batch
of gold coins worth a total of $127 million in an attempt to help restore confidence in the ruble, a news report said Thursday.

The Association of Russian banks, which proposed the idea, has already
secured support from members of the government and both houses of
parliament, Dmitry Ignatyev, a department head with the association, told the Interfax news agency.

If the Central Bank agrees, the coins would be in circulation within two weeks, Ignatyev said. The value of individual coins would be set by the Central Bank.

The Central Bank has suspended all currency trading since Tuesday amid the latest economic crisis, as confidence in the ruble has nose-dived.
