CoinOfNote<p>The Denga, a coin from Russia, issued since at least the mid 14th century. In 1535, <a href="https://historians.social/tags/Russia" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Russia</span></a> was the first country to go <a href="https://historians.social/tags/decimal" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>decimal</span></a> with the Denga worth 1/100 Rubles. I found an argument that they continued to also use non-decimal until after 1800 but I can&#39;t find references for that? Any help? Meanwhile, here is a Denga from 1749, issued under Elizaveta Petrovna.
