What is a rouble?

Rouble (or ruble) is a russian currency (In russian рубль). It's really small, though. For an example, 1 dollar is 65,41 roubles right now

Why is it called like that?

Let meh begin my history class. A long time ago, in ancient Rus (later Russia) there were stone things that look like stone sticks called hryvnia (yeah like that. Nowadays its ukrainian currency) and people had to cut some pieces off to coins so they could pay with them (rouble is coming from the verb рубить, that means to cut)
