A: 500 Ruble Note. Q: Which Banknote, Meant To Display The Solovetsky Monastery, Instead Displays The Solovetsky Death Camp?
Using the monastery picture?  500 rubles.   Using the death camp picture?  Priceless.


 "We feel pain for veterans and for the people who died in these damned death camps," said a 72-year-old north Russian resident, when speaking of the new 500 ruble Russian note.

The crosses, which were atop the Solovetsky monastery, were removed when the monastery was turned into a death camp in 1926. The banknote picture shows the building without the crosses.

"Our banknote is the only note in the world with a picture of a World War II concentration camp!"
