Collection of old money is detained
The legality of the import into Russia of about 6,000 banknotes is being checked.
At the customs post of the MAPP Adler of Sochi Customs, the KIA SPORTAGE car, which arrived from the Republic of Abkhazia, was stopped during customs control. During the customs inspection of the SUV and the survey, the driver became nervous, which aroused suspicion among customs officers.
After inspecting the car, the inspectors found in the luggage compartment and passenger compartment, among their personal belongings, a bag and two plastic containers containing banknotes, checks, coupons, coupons, certificates, bonds and bonds of various denominations, sizes and colors. In total, about 6,000 items (denominations) of banknotes of both Russian and other countries were found, some of which were issued more than 50 years ago.
The driver, a citizen of Russia, explained that the goods being moved are his personal collection, he could not provide documents for him.
“At present, the entire batch of banknotes has been seized and will be sent for examination, which will establish whether they are cultural property and what is their value,” said Alexey Bykov, deputy head of the MAPP customs post Adler of Sochi Customs.
Moving across the customs border of objects recognized as cultural property is possible only upon presentation of permission from the Ministry of Culture of Russia.
