How to Convert RUB to USD

The official currency of Russia is Russian rubles, or RUB. If you have some Russian rubles left over from a trip, you may want to exchange them for United States dollars, or USD. Typically when exchanging foreign currency, you can only exchange the paper bills. You can convert your RUB foreign currency to U.S. dollars by visiting a local bank or by using a currency exchange specialist.

Instructions

1

Look up the current RUB to USD exchange rate on a currency conversion website to get an idea of how many U.S. dollars you can get for your Russian rubles. The rate you get is only an estimate because there will be a fee when you do the actual currency conversion.

2

Go to an international bank branch to exchange your foreign currency.

3

Visit a currency exchange specialist to exchange your RUB for USD. You can also sometimes find currency exchange counters in local shopping malls and typically in airports.

4

If you are staying at hotel, inquire about exchanging your currency. Hotels typically offer a foreign currency exchange service, but usually charge a higher fee than a currency exchange specialist. Some travel agencies also offer currency exchange.
