Perhaps that’s the Belarus Rouble, currently at 2860 to the dollar .
Tim adds: Could be….but the photo name is “ru.5”.
You can tell it’s old by looking at the £ rate. In fact you might be able to date the picture going on the different rates shown.
£:€ roughly 1.35.
£:$ approx 1.80
$:CHF roughly 1.1
I’d say that was August 2008 more or less.
