Since November 15, 1993, in the Republic of Uzbekistan, in order to protect the domestic market from excess ruble supply, additional temporary banknotes "sums" or sum-coupons were introduced in a ratio of 1: 1 to the Soviet ruble. On July 1, 1994, by the Decree of the President of Uzbekistan, a constant currency is put into circulation - the Uzbek Soum at the rate of 1 sum = 1000 sum-coupons.

Currently, all banknotes and coins are in circulation, but banknotes up to ten and coins up to twenty-five soums are not used.
