In plain English
The currency of Belarus, code BYN, introduced in 2016 when four zeros were knocked off the old ruble.
The Belarusian ruble (BYN) replaced the old BYR in 2016 after years of high inflation, with 10,000 old rubles becoming one new one. That kind of reset is called redenomination.
Its fortunes are tied closely to Russia, and sanctions limit how and where it can trade.
