Uzbekistan uses the Uzbekistani som, written as UZS. It has been the official currency since 1994, replacing the Soviet ruble. Banknotes feature national leaders, cultural symbols, and historic landmarks. Cash is widely used, though cards and digital payments are increasingly accepted in cities like Tashkent. Coins are used for smaller transactions. The som’s value can fluctuate with economic conditions. The Uzbekistani som reflects the country’s independence and economic development.
