* 10 rubles coins with Gagarin came across very often in 2001-2002. It was hard to imagine that now they will cost much more then their nominal value.
That's why If you see a plenty of one coin now, be sure that after 15 years it will cost 1000 rubles.( or 100 of its nominal value). A 10 rubles coin with Gagarin is a living illustration of it.
