3 Talona, Lithuania, 1991

3 Talona banknote of Lithuania - a former Soviet republic which declared independence in 1990. These notes were printed in 1991 and replaced the Soviet ruble - and were the first currency of the new republic. The obverse has a juniper branch in the middle and the Lithuanian coat of arms on the side. The reverse has an image of two gray herons at the center. 

3 is an uncommon denomination - banknotes usually move in denominations of 1-2-5-10. However, USSR and many of its East European satellite states had banknotes in the denomination of 3. This was to make transactions easier - many everyday items were priced in multiples of 3. The denomination of the Tajik banknote shows the Soviet influence.
