New Crimean Currency

Who says Crimea doesn't pay?  They now have their own coins!

A couple of things:

1. I can read enough Russian to see that coins says "Russian Federal Republic of Crimea."  So which is it, an independent country, or a province of Russia?  Or under Putin, is Russia going to get the USA experiment right?  Currency is a kind of sovereign-ish thing to do.  Is this another independent country with Russia in the name, like Belorus (white Russia).

2. Coins like that are not set up over night....  this was planned a while back.

Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.
