Even into the early 2000s, when I used to visit Moscow more regularly, dollars were preferred for many transactions. Is this still the case? It's been a long time since my last trip there.
- Symbiote 7y agoI was only there for a week, but no restaurants, hotels or museums wanted dollars. Most places accepted credit cards, and many assumed that was how I would be paying.
- ash 7y agoIt's not the case anymore. There was a major devaluation in 1998. This is the reason why people were still suspicious about rubles in the early 2000s.
- fr1tkot 7y agoDollars aren't used for any transactions you or I would make, people do still like making cash savings in Dollars or Euros if they can get their hands on them.
