Note
An ordinary English plural, made by adding a plain -s to the borrowed currency name. The Russian original changes its ending depending on the number being counted, but English ignores that. The word counts the money of Russia, Belarus and Transnistria. Each ruble divides into 100 kopeks, so amounts often name both units: three rubles fifty kopeks. The Russian currency's symbol is ₽.
