is neither big nor big, nor small nor trivial, but it is somewhat embarrassing. It is also a thing that is not very harmful but highly insulting.
How could such an omnipotent Russia and such a great emperor encounter difficulties with such a trivial matter? I don’t know how many people will shake their heads and cry out in pain: I don’t believe it! I do not believe! ! This is not true! ! !
What is this? Then let us talk about it.
The Central Bank of Russia
Russia has long planned the issuance of new 100 ruble banknotes. There are already piles of new banknotes in the warehouse, labeled and sorted, ready to be sent to major banks.
The new 100 rubles depict the Spasskaya Tower of the Kremlin on the front, and the Russian World War II monument Rzhev Memorial on the back, which can be described as majestic and high-spirited. At the same time, Russia claims that the new banknotes have a higher level of durability and a higher level of security.
Maybe the Russian TV station has prepared the manuscript. The theme of the manuscript may be "Under Western sanctions, the great Russia is not afraid of the pressure of Western sanctions and brazenly launches a new 100 ruble banknote. It is awesome for my Russia!"

But suddenly another bucket of cold water was poured down. The Central Bank of Russia did successfully launch the new 100 ruble banknotes on June 30. However, they said another but, the new 100 ruble banknotes will not be released. It will soon enter circulation.
Why is this? The announcements for the TV station have all been written overtime. Aren’t you tired from working overtime? Sergey Belov, deputy governor of the Central Bank of Russia, could only give a cryptic explanation. He said that it would take six months to a year for Russia's ATMs, ATMs and cash registers to recognize the new banknotes.
This is a bit like the electric car launched by a certain university. Although several cars have been officially announced early, who knows when they will be released.

The request was first made to the Central Bank of Russia by the 145-member Association of Russian Banks, which asked the central bank to delay the introduction of new banknotes into circulation. The reason is that the Russian Banks Association estimates that 60% of Russian ATMs and cash registers are imported.
For example, the withdrawal of NCR and Diebold Nixdorf, the top American manufacturers of ATM machines and terminal equipment, from Russia has caused great trouble for the circulation of new banknotes. These two companies have a large number of equipment in Russia. If they do not upgrade the machines , Russia’s new 100-ruble banknote cannot be recognized.
Of course, the Russians want to take apart the machine and make it themselves, but there is no problem in taking it apart. After taking it apart, they can only stare at it and knock on it, but they are unable to do anything.

The Russian Central Bank originally planned to launch 1,000 ruble banknotes and 5,000 ruble banknotes next year, but now it seems that 100 ruble banknotes are not available, and further plans are still very early.
Although there are difficulties, there is still a way. That is, the Russian Bank takes the new banknotes directly from the counter to the Russians, and then tells these Russians not to deposit money in the bank, but to keep the money at home, and use it when the time comes. Take it directly to the store and use it.
The United States has nothing to do with this method. There is no law that stipulates that Russian rubles must be deposited and withdrawn through ATM machines. It is estimated that by then Biden will not be able to give a thumbs up and say: Awesome, my Russian!
