Money, not more than 200 old roubles worth of foreign money can be taken out of Kussia (even though brought in from China with the passenger, since no aystem of certificate of what is brought in is at work), The surplus has to be converted into Russian Roubles on the border station at a loss of 15 per cent. If it is necessary to carry cash over-this amount—rather than traveller's cheque, ete—make sure of changing the surplus foreign money into Russian gold roubles or chervoynetz at Moscow at the proper rate. You can sell th all right cither at Riga or any later European big city. (Two hundred gold roubles equals about £26 or U.S.A. gold dollars 100.)
The trip needs £60 (or G.$300), if you go second class. If first class—about £75, (Many of the incidentals are the same in either class). Chinese money will go up to Manchuli, Japanese money is useful at first. 50 Yen will be needced and five of them in small change.
