Mr Shlyapnikov's "banknotes" are brightly-coloured pieces of paper featuring a tree, and are available in a variety of denominations from one to 100. "There are no wars, deaths or crises connected with this money," he tells TV Tsentr . "This money is about honest work, fresh air, fresh produce." There's also no inflation risk, as the rate is fixed at five kolions for a bucket of potatoes.
