The initial success led the government to issue more and more paper money. At the end of the reign of Catherine, 150 million banknotes had been released, and there was almost no exchange of coins funds for them. As a result, no more than 68 kopecks were given for the assignment ruble, and the price of all goods rose.

The reason was the lack of a correct view of the value of paper money in general, but in that era there was still no clear consciousness that a paper banknote in itself had no value and was only a debt obligation of the state treasury.
