MOSCOW, April 30 (Reuters) - Russia for the next 10 years cannot meet its original schedule to service its foreign debts, even if the economy picks up, Finance Minister Mikhail Zadornov said on Friday.

He told a news conference that support by the International Monetary Fund made it highly probable Russia would reschedule a total $16 billion in foreign debt payments to the London Club of commercial creditors and Paris Club of nation creditors in 1999 and 2000, and he added that debt rescheduling could go further.

New coin for the new millennium
Mining Magazine, Apr 1999, p 225
Some of the world's largest gold companies are joining forces to produce a millennium souvenir coin. The project will be led by Barrick Gold of Canada, and the companies include Anglo American of South Africa, Newmont Gold of the USA and Placer Dome of Canada. These, and other companies are holding discussions to plan details, including a worldwide marketing and promotions campaign. Interested companies may plan corporate participation, as one side of the coin will incorporate the millennium design, while the other side will have a corporate or institutional logo. The companies hope that the coin will be as successful as the popular South African Krugerrand, which has sold more then 1400 t of gold. The millennium coin will sell for around $400.
