I received a mixed lot of Foreign Currency and was able to identify most of them.
However, these stump me...
I appreciate your assistance.

First impression: Chits or another form of paper credit, but not official currency.

I believe the first two words under the guys face spell out 10,000 in Russian

The Asian ones are small--averaging 3 1/2" wide and 1 1/2 tall.

If "chits," no wonder I can't find them in my Krause....

Thanks, Don.

I think the guy is a portrait of Sergei Panteleevich Mavrodi, founder of the financial pyramid ??? (Ponzi scheme),
which ruined millions of investors during the early 1990s

OK: got it:
10000 Biletov 1994 (Sergei Mavrodi) MMM pyramid scheme certificate bond. Offset print. UNC

MMM was the company that perpetrated the largest pyramid scheme in Russia in the 1990s. It involved at least two million people and possibly collected an amount of money equivalent to as much as 1.5 billion U.S. dollars. The company was established in 1989 by Sergey Panteleevich Mavrodi, his brother Vyacheslav Mavrodi, and Marina Muravieva, Vyacheslav's future wife (the name of the company was an abbreviation of the three founders' surnames).

#1, his name is Sergei Mavrodi, look him up in Wiki. That should give you a great lead.

Here is a link for his personal information. (He was a crook by the way)
