Kyrgyzstan Now Has Coins

The other day I got my first sixteen som in loose change. The cashier gave me back two five som coins and two three som coins. I do not think I have ever seen a bill or coin in the denomination of three before.

While we were a part of the USSR we had 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 20 and 50 kopecks ;)) Not sure about the "50" though, maybe I remember wrong.

There were Soviet notes of 3 rubles. I, too, found it strange...
