No 3000 Ruble banknote

And then the banknote that will not be issued: the 3000 Rubel from Russia. Officials dismissed the rumors which had started on a website of a local politician. The idea was that this banknote would fill the gap between the 1000 and 5000 Rubel banknote. The 5000 Rubel being the last new banknote to be issued in Russia. But this banknote is virtually useless in daily payments due to lack of change in shops. The 3000 Rubel banknote might be a solution but not in the near future. A professor in graphic design made a design of the proposed banknote with scenes of Yekaterinburg on it. Quite a good looking note to be honest.
