The ruble or rouble is the currency of the Russian Federation, it is subdivided into 100 kopeks.

Currently there is no official symbol for the ruble, though the abbreviation руб. is in wide use.

According to the most popular version, the word "rouble" is derived from the Russian verb руби́ть (rubit'), meaning to chop.
