Own a fascinating artifact from Russia’s chaotic 1990s — a 1994 10,000 Rubles “Biletov” MMM banknote featuring Sergei Mavrodi, the infamous founder of the MMM pyramid scheme.

Front: Portrait of Sergei Mavrodi wearing glasses, with the MMM logo and “Билет” (Biletov) text.

Back: Colorful MMM design elements and branding.

These “Biletov” notes were privately issued by the MMM corporation during Russia’s post-Soviet financial upheaval. Used to promote and operate one of the largest Ponzi schemes in history, they now stand as a collectible reminder of that era’s dramatic economic experiments.
