National currency of Uzbekistan is sum (also som, soum) and tiyin. This currency has been put into circulation in Uzbekistan since 1994 and today is the only means of payment . On July 1st, 1994, a second Som was introduced at a rate of 1 new Som = 1,000 old Som. This Som is subdivided into 100 tiyin.
• The Som as it exists today came into use in 1993, when it was an official Uzbekistan currency, as opposed to being a Russian Ruble, which was used as the official currency of Uzbekistan until then.
• The Som was originally introduced with no subdivision. However, this Som was subject to serious levels of inflation and only lasted until 1994, when it was devalued (at the rate of 1,000:1) when the second Som was introduced
