Default Russian currency exchange advice.

Bit of advice for those traveling to the Olympics.

Russian Currency
Rouble is the official currency of Russia. It is a freely convertible currency and you will not have any problem exchanging US dollars or Euros at local banks and specialized foreign currency locations. For latest exchange rates visit OANDA - Forex Trading and Exchange Rates Services | OANDA
Be warned that local banks prefer foreign banknotes in pristine condition - no tarnished, marked, or worn out bills will be accepted. It is best to get brand new bills from your home bank before leaving to Russia.

If you have a torn bill, you are out of luck as well.
