The kuponi (Georgian: კუპონი k’up’oni, "coupon"; ISO 4217: GEK) was the currency of Georgia. It was introduced on 5 April 1993, replacing the Russian ruble at par. This currency was temporary, with no coins nor subdivisions. It also suffered from hyperinflation.
Kuponi banknotes were issued in five series: four in 1993 and one in 1994. Each denomination was introduced in no more than two series.
On 2 October 1995, the government of Eduard Shevardnadze replaced the provisional coupon currency with the lari, at a rate of one million to one. It has remained fairly stable since then.
