Abstract

The article deals with the most used in the Ukrainian, Russian and Belarusian languages of the XIX - XX centuries. the names of money with the main words 'sign', 'ticket' and 'assignation'. These names are recorded in East Slavic lexicography and printed or authored numismatic catalogs. Slavic traditional scientific discourse is characterized by the definition of money: 'money signs', 'metal and paper marks', 'signs of value', 'signs of cash payment', 'golden signs'. Money really belongs to the categories of conventional signs. This is understandable from the socio-economic point, because in modern society we observe a departure from natural exchange, the gold standard and the approach to devaluation of the price of a monetary unit. From the philosophical standpoint, the conventional monetary sign replaces the real value of the goods and becomes the material representative of a certain abstract value. Significance can be called any materialized form of commodity-money relations as part of global social relations. 'Credit / Banking ticket' (other than unrecoverable 'Treasury ticket') has been and remains the official sign of value and payment in the territory where the eastern Slavs live, an official monetary sign. He had a traditional denomination in rubles or karbovanets, accepted as payment throughout the state and exchanged for precious metal. His synonym for 'assignation' was used in Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian to identify large amounts of money, but was not included in the official name of the money and was not printed on banknotes. Non-cash signs (certificates, documents for the right of possession, entrance vouchers, checks of enterprises) or money surrogates (tickets of money-lottery, 'savings tickets') were also called 'Ticket' (also 'asyhnovka'). Key words: money sign, money surrogate, assignation, ticket
