About MMM:
This voucher was issued by MMM, a Russian company behind one of the largest Ponzi schemes in history. Founded by Sergei Mavrodi, MMM operated in the early 1990s and attracted millions of investors across Russia. Estimates suggest that between 5 to 10 million people lost their savings when the scheme collapsed. Despite widespread knowledge of its illegitimacy, many participated hoping to exit with profits before its eventual downfall.

Collectible Note:
Now a historical curiosity, this note represents a remarkable period in post-Soviet Russia’s economic turmoil and is a unique item for collectors interested in financial history, scams, or alternative currencies.
