The tenge (^[2] or ;^[3] Kazakh: теңге, teñge, Kazakh pronunciation: [ˌtʲeŋˈɡʲe]; sign: ₸ ; code: KZT) is the currency of Kazakhstan. It is divided into 100 tiyn (Kazakh: тиын, tıyın also transliterated as tiyin).

History[edit]

After the breakup of the Soviet Union in December 1991, most of the formerly Soviet republics attempted to maintain a common currency. Some politicians hoped to at least maintain «special relations» among former Soviet republics (the «near abroad»). Other reasons were the economic considerations for maintaining the ruble zone. The wish to preserve strong trade relations between former Soviet republics was considered the most important goal.^[4]

The break-up of the Soviet Union was not accompanied by any formal changes in monetary arrangements. The Central Bank of Russia was authorized^{[by whom?]} to take over the State Bank of the USSR (Gosbank) on 1 January 1992. It continued to ship Soviet notes and coins to the central banks of the eleven newly independent countries, which had formerly been the main branches of Gosbank in the republics.

The political situation, however, was not favourable for maintaining a common currency.^[4] Maintaining a common currency requires a strong political consensus in respect to monetary and fiscal targets, a common institution in charge of implementing these targets, and some minimum of common legislation (concerning the banking and foreign-exchange regulations).^{[citation needed]} These conditions were far from being met amidst the turbulent economic and political situation.

During the first half of 1992, there existed a monetary union where 15 independent states all used the ruble. Since it was clear that the situation would not last, each of them was using its position as «free-riders» to issue huge amounts of money in the form of credit.^[5] As a result, some countries were issuing coupons in order to «protect» their markets from buyers from other states. The Russian central bank responded in July 1992 by setting up restrictions to the flow of credit between Russia and other states. The final collapse of the ruble zone began when Russia pulled out with the exchange of banknotes by the Central Bank of Russia on Russian territory at the end of July 1993.

As a result, Kazakhstan and other countries still in the ruble zone were «pushed out».^[5] On November 12, 1993, the President of Kazakhstan issued a decree «On introducing national currency of Republic of Kazakhstan». The tenge was introduced on 15 November 1993 to replace Soviet currency at a rate of T 1 = Rbls 500. In 1991 a «special group» of designers was set up: Mendybay Alin, Timur Suleymenov, Asimsaly Duzelkhanov and Khayrulla Gabzhalilov. Thus November 15 is celebrated as the «Day of National Currency of Republic of Kazakhstan». In 1995 a tenge-printing factory opened in Kazakhstan. The first consignment of tenge banknotes were printed in the United Kingdom and the first coins were struck in Germany. In February 2019, Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev signed a bill into law that will remove all Russian captions from future tenge banknotes and coins.^[6]

Etymology[edit]

The word tenge in Kazakh and in most other Turkic languages means a set of scales (cf the old Uzbek tenga or the Tajik borrowed term tanga). The origin of the word is the Mongolic word teng (ᠲᠡᠩ) which means «being equal, balance». The name of this currency is thus similar to the pound, lira, peso, taka, and shekel. The name of the currency is also related to the Russian word for money Russian: деньги/ den’gi, which the Old Russian language borrowed from Turkic sources.^[7]

Symbol[edit]

Originally a simple letter «Т» was used to denote amounts in tenge, this is still recommended when the tenge symbol is not available.^[8] In autumn 2006 the National Bank of Kazakhstan organised a competition for a unique symbol for the currency and received over 30,000 applications.
On March 20, 2007, two days before the Nauryz holiday, the National Bank of Kazakhstan approved a graphical symbol for the tenge: ₸.
On March 29, 2007, the Bank announced two designers from Almaty, Vadim Davydenko and Sanzhar Amirkhanov, as winners for the design of the symbol of the Kazakhstani tenge. They shared a prize of ₸1,000,000 and the title of «parents» of the tenge symbol.^[9]
The character was included in Unicode 5.2.0 (August 2009) at code point U+20B8.^[10]

Coins[edit]

While older coins were struck in Germany, current coins are struck domestically, by the Kazakhstan Mint in Oskemen.

First series (1993)[edit]

In 1993, the first series of coins were introduced in denominations of 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 tiyin featuring the national arms and were struck in bronze. The coins of T 1, T 3, T 5, T 10, and T 20 were struck in cupro-nickel and depicted stylized and mythical animals. The coins of this period circulated alongside tiyin and low denomination tenge notes of equal value. Tiyin coins were withdrawn as of February 7, 2001 and lost their effect as legal currency as of December 31, 2012.^[11][12]

Second series (1998)[edit]

In 1998, a new series of coins was introduced. After the withdrawal of tiyin denominated coins T 1 became the smallest denomination. T 100 were later introduced in 2002 replacing the equivalent notes. A T 2 coin was introduced in 2005. In 2013 the alloy of lower denomination coins was altered.

Third series (2019)[edit]

In 2019, a new series of coins was introduced into circulation, with the same coin specifications and metallic compositions as the second series. But with the inscriptions of the coins now rendered in Latin-based Kazakh instead of Kazakh-based Cyrillic.

The coins were issued as part of the efforts of the presidential decree issued by former President Nursultan Nazarbayev of its transition of switching from a Cyrillic-based alphabet to a Latin-based alphabet and emphasizing Kazakh culture and distance the country from Russian influence. The designs of the coins were approved by Interim President Qasym-Zhomart Toqaev on March 20, 2019. Previously issued coins bearing the Kazakh Cyrillic script will remain legal tender alongside the new Kazakh Latin inscribed coins.
In 2019, the National Bank of Kazakhstan announced the issuance of new ₸200 coins, which were issued into circulation in 2020. This new denomination features inscriptions in Latin-based Kazakh, and like the ₸100 coin, is bi-metallic.^[14]

Many of the ₸20 and ₸50 commemoratives are also struck in cupro-nickel and occasionally make it out into general circulation as a side coinage with face value.

Banknotes[edit]

2006 series[edit]

The National Bank of Kazakhstan issued a new series of tenge banknotes in 2006. This was not a currency reform as they replaced existing notes at face value.

The 2006 series is far more exotic than its predecessors. The obverse is vertical and the denomination is written in Kazakh. All denominations depict the Astana/Nur-Sultan Bayterek monument, the flag of Kazakhstan, the Coat of arms, the handprint with a signature of president Nursultan Nazarbayev and fragments of the national anthem. The main differences across each denomination are only the colours, denominations and underprint patterns.

On the contrast, the reverse side of the notes are more different. The denomination is written in Russian, and each denomination shows a unique building and geography of Kazakhstan in the outline of its borders.

The first printing of the ₸2,000 and ₸5,000 notes issued in 2006 had misspellings of the word for «bank» (the correct spelling «банкі» bankı was misspelled «*банқі» banqı). The misspelling was a politically sensitive issue due to the cultural and political importance of the Kazakh language.^[17]

On 3 October 2016, the ₸2,000, ₸5,000 and ₸10,000 banknotes of the 2006 series lost their legal tender status and are no longer valid. From 4 October 2016 to 3 October 2017, these notes can be exchanged without commission at any second tier bank and branches of the National Bank of Kazakhstan.^[18]

2011–2017 series[edit]

The National Bank of Kazakhstan issued a new series of tenge banknotes dated 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 in denominations of ₸1,000, ₸2,000, ₸5,000, and ₸10,000.^{[19][20][21][22]} The designs for this series feature the «Kazakh Eli» monument on the front of the notes. On 1 December 2015, a new ₸20,000 banknote was introduced. It contains the issue date of 2013, and is a commemorative note to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the introduction of its national currency, but was not issued until 2015.^[23] In 2017, the National Bank of Kazakhstan issued a ₸500 banknote as part of this series, but has caused controversy over an image of a gull on the reverse side of the note and the image of the Moscow business center in Kazakhstan’s capital of Nur-Sultan.^[24]

On February 11, 2014, the Kazakh National Bank chose to devalue the tenge by 19% against the U.S. dollar in response to a weakening of the Russian ruble.^[30]

On August 20, 2015, The Kazakhstan National Bank has done away with the currency band with respect to conversion rate of tenge. Now, the tenge is a free-floating currency and its exchange rate against the major currencies are determined by demand and supply in the market. Due to this change, the tenge lost 30% of its value in a single day.^[31]

The tenge (^[2] or ;^[3] Kazakh: теңге, teñge, Kazakh pronunciation: [ˌtʲeŋˈɡʲe]; sign: ₸ ; code: KZT) is the currency of Kazakhstan. It is divided into 100 tiyn (Kazakh: тиын, tıyın also transliterated as tiyin).

History[edit]

After the breakup of the Soviet Union in December 1991, most of the formerly Soviet republics attempted to maintain a common currency. Some politicians hoped to at least maintain «special relations» among former Soviet republics (the «near abroad»). Other reasons were the economic considerations for maintaining the ruble zone. The wish to preserve strong trade relations between former Soviet republics was considered the most important goal.^[4]

The break-up of the Soviet Union was not accompanied by any formal changes in monetary arrangements. The Central Bank of Russia was authorized^{[by whom?]} to take over the State Bank of the USSR (Gosbank) on 1 January 1992. It continued to ship Soviet notes and coins to the central banks of the eleven newly independent countries, which had formerly been the main branches of Gosbank in the republics.

The political situation, however, was not favourable for maintaining a common currency.^[4] Maintaining a common currency requires a strong political consensus in respect to monetary and fiscal targets, a common institution in charge of implementing these targets, and some minimum of common legislation (concerning the banking and foreign-exchange regulations).^{[citation needed]} These conditions were far from being met amidst the turbulent economic and political situation.

During the first half of 1992, there existed a monetary union where 15 independent states all used the ruble. Since it was clear that the situation would not last, each of them was using its position as «free-riders» to issue huge amounts of money in the form of credit.^[5] As a result, some countries were issuing coupons in order to «protect» their markets from buyers from other states. The Russian central bank responded in July 1992 by setting up restrictions to the flow of credit between Russia and other states. The final collapse of the ruble zone began when Russia pulled out with the exchange of banknotes by the Central Bank of Russia on Russian territory at the end of July 1993.

As a result, Kazakhstan and other countries still in the ruble zone were «pushed out».^[5] On November 12, 1993, the President of Kazakhstan issued a decree «On introducing national currency of Republic of Kazakhstan». The tenge was introduced on 15 November 1993 to replace Soviet currency at a rate of T 1 = Rbls 500. In 1991 a «special group» of designers was set up: Mendybay Alin, Timur Suleymenov, Asimsaly Duzelkhanov and Khayrulla Gabzhalilov. Thus November 15 is celebrated as the «Day of National Currency of Republic of Kazakhstan». In 1995 a tenge-printing factory opened in Kazakhstan. The first consignment of tenge banknotes were printed in the United Kingdom and the first coins were struck in Germany. In February 2019, Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev signed a bill into law that will remove all Russian captions from future tenge banknotes and coins.^[6]

Etymology[edit]

The word tenge in Kazakh and in most other Turkic languages means a set of scales (cf the old Uzbek tenga or the Tajik borrowed term tanga). The origin of the word is the Mongolic word teng (ᠲᠡᠩ) which means «being equal, balance». The name of this currency is thus similar to the pound, lira, peso, taka, and shekel. The name of the currency is also related to the Russian word for money Russian: деньги/ den’gi, which the Old Russian language borrowed from Turkic sources.^[7]

Symbol[edit]

Originally a simple letter «Т» was used to denote amounts in tenge, this is still recommended when the tenge symbol is not available.^[8] In autumn 2006 the National Bank of Kazakhstan organised a competition for a unique symbol for the currency and received over 30,000 applications.
On March 20, 2007, two days before the Nauryz holiday, the National Bank of Kazakhstan approved a graphical symbol for the tenge: ₸.
On March 29, 2007, the Bank announced two designers from Almaty, Vadim Davydenko and Sanzhar Amirkhanov, as winners for the design of the symbol of the Kazakhstani tenge. They shared a prize of ₸1,000,000 and the title of «parents» of the tenge symbol.^[9]
The character was included in Unicode 5.2.0 (August 2009) at code point U+20B8.^[10]

Coins[edit]

While older coins were struck in Germany, current coins are struck domestically, by the Kazakhstan Mint in Oskemen.

First series (1993)[edit]

In 1993, the first series of coins were introduced in denominations of 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 tiyin featuring the national arms and were struck in bronze. The coins of T 1, T 3, T 5, T 10, and T 20 were struck in cupro-nickel and depicted stylized and mythical animals. The coins of this period circulated alongside tiyin and low denomination tenge notes of equal value. Tiyin coins were withdrawn as of February 7, 2001 and lost their effect as legal currency as of December 31, 2012.^[11][12]

Second series (1998)[edit]

In 1998, a new series of coins was introduced. After the withdrawal of tiyin denominated coins T 1 became the smallest denomination. T 100 were later introduced in 2002 replacing the equivalent notes. A T 2 coin was introduced in 2005. In 2013 the alloy of lower denomination coins was altered.

Third series (2019)[edit]

In 2019, a new series of coins was introduced into circulation, with the same coin specifications and metallic compositions as the second series. But with the inscriptions of the coins now rendered in Latin-based Kazakh instead of Kazakh-based Cyrillic.

The coins were issued as part of the efforts of the presidential decree issued by former President Nursultan Nazarbayev of its transition of switching from a Cyrillic-based alphabet to a Latin-based alphabet and emphasizing Kazakh culture and distance the country from Russian influence. The designs of the coins were approved by Interim President Qasym-Zhomart Toqaev on March 20, 2019. Previously issued coins bearing the Kazakh Cyrillic script will remain legal tender alongside the new Kazakh Latin inscribed coins.
In 2019, the National Bank of Kazakhstan announced the issuance of new ₸200 coins, which were issued into circulation in 2020. This new denomination features inscriptions in Latin-based Kazakh, and like the ₸100 coin, is bi-metallic.^[14]

2006 series[edit]

The National Bank of Kazakhstan issued a new series of tenge banknotes in 2006. This was not a currency reform as they replaced existing notes at face value.

The 2006 series is far more exotic than its predecessors. The obverse is vertical and the denomination is written in Kazakh. All denominations depict the Astana/Nur-Sultan Bayterek monument, the flag of Kazakhstan, the Coat of arms, the handprint with a signature of president Nursultan Nazarbayev and fragments of the national anthem. The main differences across each denomination are only the colours, denominations and underprint patterns.

On the contrast, the reverse side of the notes are more different. The denomination is written in Russian, and each denomination shows a unique building and geography of Kazakhstan in the outline of its borders.

The first printing of the ₸2,000 and ₸5,000 notes issued in 2006 had misspellings of the word for «bank» (the correct spelling «банкі» bankı was misspelled «*банқі» banqı). The misspelling was a politically sensitive issue due to the cultural and political importance of the Kazakh language.^[17]

On 3 October 2016, the ₸2,000, ₸5,000 and ₸10,000 banknotes of the 2006 series lost their legal tender status and are no longer valid. From 4 October 2016 to 3 October 2017, these notes can be exchanged without commission at any second tier bank and branches of the National Bank of Kazakhstan.^[18]

2011–2017 series[edit]

The National Bank of Kazakhstan issued a new series of tenge banknotes dated 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 in denominations of ₸1,000, ₸2,000, ₸5,000, and ₸10,000.^{[19][20][21][22]} The designs for this series feature the «Kazakh Eli» monument on the front of the notes. On 1 December 2015, a new ₸20,000 banknote was introduced. It contains the issue date of 2013, and is a commemorative note to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the introduction of its national currency, but was not issued until 2015.^[23] In 2017, the National Bank of Kazakhstan issued a ₸500 banknote as part of this series, but has caused controversy over an image of a gull on the reverse side of the note and the image of the Moscow business center in Kazakhstan’s capital of Nur-Sultan.^[24]

On February 11, 2014, the Kazakh National Bank chose to devalue the tenge by 19% against the U.S. dollar in response to a weakening of the Russian ruble.^[30]

On August 20, 2015, The Kazakhstan National Bank has done away with the currency band with respect to conversion rate of tenge. Now, the tenge is a free-floating currency and its exchange rate against the major currencies are determined by demand and supply in the market. Due to this change, the tenge lost 30% of its value in a single day.^[31]

Казахста́нский тенге́ (каз. Қазақстан теңгесі) (м. р. нескл.) — национальная валюта Казахстана. На купюрах и монетах принято обозначение просто тенге (каз. теңге). В ноябре 2006 Национальный банк Республики Казахстан провёл конкурс на рисунок символа тенге. Из 30 тысяч представленных на конкурс рисунков 30 марта 2007 года был утверждён новый символ тенге, авторы которого, Вадим Давиденко и Санжар Амерханов, получили премию в один миллион тенге (около 8000 долларов). После публикации результатов конкурса разразился скандал, так как выяснилось, что новый символ тенге ничем не отличается от символа японской почтовой службы, использующегося уже более 120 лет.^[1]

Название

Название «тенге» происходит от средневековых тюркских серебряных монет «денге» или «таньга», от которых, в свою очередь, произошли также название русской монеты деньга и слово деньги.

Как правило, они выпускаются строго ограниченным тиражом и предназначены для продажи на территории Республики Казахстан и за рубежом по коллекционной стоимости.

У казахстанского тенге 18 степеней защиты. Тенге в числе самых «экипированных» валют мира.

Банкноты образца 2006 года

Ровно через 13 лет после введения национальной валюты 15 ноября 1993 года начался обмен банкнот старого образца на новые.

С 15 ноября 2006 года по 14 ноября 2007 года банкноты старого и нового образца имели параллельное хождение. До 15 ноября 2017 года обмен может производиться в филиалах Нацбанка, причём только после экспертизы, подтверждающей их подлинность.

Общие элементы дизайна

Банкноты нового дизайна образца 2006 года полностью исключают вероятность ошибочного восприятия какого-либо номинала, так как все номиналы отличаются как по цветам, так и по размеру. Цветовая гамма подобрана таким образом, чтобы создать положительный и легко узнаваемый образ банкнот любого достоинства. Каждый следующий номинал больше предыдущего на 4 мм по длине и на 3 мм по ширине.

Все банкноты выполнены в едином стиле, лицевая сторона содержит преимущественно вертикальные изображения, оборотная сторона — горизонтальные. В целом дизайн отображает современность Казахстана, включает все государственные символы, изображения архитектурных объектов и природных ландшафтов страны.

На лицевой стороне банкнот в центральной части расположен монумент «Астана-Байтерек» — достижение современной казахстанской архитектуры, конструкторской и инженерной мысли, символ развития независимого Казахстана. Посередине банкноты на цветных полосах изображены фрагменты нот государственного гимна Республики Казахстан, на которые нанесено цифровое обозначение номинала. Слева от монумента «Байтерек» нанесён одним цветом государственный герб Республики Казахстан. В верхней правой части — изображение государственного флага. В нижней части банкноты изображена открытая ладонь руки, в классической геральдике символизирующей веру, искренность и правосудие. На банкнотах номиналом 200 и 500 тенге буквенное обозначение номинала на государственном языке расположено по вертикали в нижнем правом углу, на банкнотах номиналом 1000, 2000, 5000 и 10000 тенге — внизу слева. Надпись «ҚАЗАҚСТАН ҰЛТТЫҚ БАНКІ» на номиналах 200 и 500 тенге расположена под нотами государственного гимна, а на номиналах 1000, 2000, 5000 и 10000 тенге — по вертикали внизу справа.

Серийные номера нанесены на лицевой стороне и расположены в двух противоположных частях банкнот.

Оборотная сторона банкнот содержит изображения ландшафтов и современных объектов архитектуры, находящихся на территории страны. Они обрамлены контуром карты Казахстана. Слева внизу и сверху справа расположено цифровое обозначение номинала банкноты, а снизу посредине — буквенное обозначение на русском языке. Сверху посредине напечатана надпись «ҚАЗАҚСТАН ҰЛТТЫҚ БАНКІ» и логотип банка-эмитента.

Степени защиты новых банкнот

На банкнотах использованы следующие элементы защиты:

• Водяные знаки. Изображения водяных знаков состоят из контрастных тёмных и светлых тонов, которые чётко видны при просмотре банкноты в проходящем свете.
• Защитные нити. Одна защитная нить внесена в структуру бумаги и видна при просмотре банкноты в проходящем свете как сплошная линия. Вторая, ныряющая нить выходит на поверхность бумаги в виде пунктиров, видна как сплошная линия с надписями и рисунками при просмотре банкноты в проходящем свете.
• Прозрачное окно. В сквозном отверстии на банкноте в проходящем свете хорошо виден рисунок на полимерной ленте.
• Совмещающиеся изображения. Фрагменты изображения, напечатанные на лицевой и оборотной сторонах банкноты в проходящем свете точно совмещаются, образуя цельный рисунок.
• Скрытое изображение (маск). Два изображения, одно из которых видно при обычном освещении, а второе в проходящем свете.
• Золотое интаглио. Элемент защиты с плотным высокорельефным слоем золотистой металлической краски создаёт высокий уровень защиты от цветного копирования.
• Метка для людей с ослабленным зрением. На лицевой стороне банкноты имеются выпуклые высокорельефные элементы хорошо различимые на ощупь.
• Оптически изменяющаяся краска. Краска меняет цвет при изменении угла наклона банкноты.
• Микрошрифты. Микротексты выполнены различным способом печати повторяющегося текста или цифр, которые можно распознать при многократном увеличении.
• Антикопировальный элемент (тартан, пирамида). При копировании линии разнонаправлено растрированной сетки разрушаются.
• Серийные номера. Магнитный серийный номер состоит из двухбуквенной серии и номера из семи цифр, отпечатанных чёрной краской с магнитными свойствами. Фосфорный серийный номер состоит из двухбуквенной серии и номера из семи цифр, отпечатанных чёрной краской с фосфоресцирующим эффектом.
• Иридисцентная полоса. На полосе, отпечатанной специальной краской, имеющей золотистый блеск, при изменении угла наклона банкноты появляется рисунок.
• Скрытое изображение (лифт). В орнаментальной розетке (гильоше) просматривается цифра номинала банкноты, когда купюра держится на уровне глаз под углом.
• Ирисовая печать. Специальный вид печати, при котором наблюдаются плавные изменения цвета при переходе от одной краски к другой
• Ультрафиолетовая защита. Изображения, выполненные специальной краской, видимые под воздействием приборов, являющихся источниками ультрафиолетового излучения.
• Волокна, внедренные в бумагу. На высших номиналах банкнот в бумагу внедрены розовые волокна, которые под источником ультрафиолетового излучения меняют цвет.
