| 1. Обмен валют (Obmen valyut) "Currency Exchange" |

| "This T-shirt is 20 British pounds." Эта футболка стоит 20 английских фунтов. (Eta futbolka stoit 20 angliyskikh funtov.) |
| Expensive stuff! |
| 3. банк (bank) "bank" |
| Well, same word, the letters in Russian of course look different from English. |
| "I need to go to the bank." Мне нужно сходить в банк. (Mne nuzhno skhodit' v bank.) |
| 4. Американский доллар (Amerikanskiy dollar) "US dollar" |
| “US” is американский (Amerikanskiy), and “dollar” is доллар (dollar). |
