My uncle traveled a lot around the world, and after he moved to the USA a few years ago, I found about 20 of his banknotes, totaling around 5,000 euros. I’m not sure if they are still valid. I’ll be in Hungary in December; can I exchange them somewhere? Attached is a photo of a 1,000 Belarusian rubles note. Can you confirm if it is still in circulation?

No, it’s not in circulation anymore. And it isn’t worth much, so I wouldn’t bother exchanging that.
No, they’re not and for a while. And you can’t exchange even modern belarusian rubles anywhere but Belarus as far as I know.
The banknote you took a picture of is worth about three cents, it’s not in circulation. It’s BYR, when we use BYN now.
We had three rubbles:
1 BYN = 10000 BYR
1 BYR = 1000 BYB
and the current exchange rate is:
1 USD ≈ 3.27 BYN
Here, how different rubbles looked like:

This is pre-denomination BYR that went out of circulation in 2016, and even then this particular bill was worth about 5 cents. The only way to derive any benefit from it is to sell it to some collector – but even they aren’t likely to give much for it since it used to be so widespread.
I miss them
Holy shot I posted this like a week ago lmao
it’s so gorgeous it’s priceless
Maybe somebody is collecting different banknotes and he will be interested. You can try to place somewhere, maybe somebody will need it )
a mini-pizza in my school cafeteria used to cost about this much
just leave it as a souvenir
0,03$
Was replaced by a 3rd series in 2016 and was officially out of circulation in 2017, really they’re so common and not sought after that it’s easier to just give it away to a newbie collector or just keep it somewhere.
I think it would worth more in US than in other European countries. Perhaps people who have a collection of banknotes would be interested in this one.
Old enough to have lost all monetary value, not old enough to have any historical value.
Not really, even for collection it’s too new)
