The '''sum''' ({{lang-uz-Latn-Cyrl|soʻm|сўм}} {{IPA|uz|som|}}; [[ISO 4217|ISO code]]: '''UZS''') is the official currency of [[Uzbekistan]]. Uzbekistan replaced the ruble with the sum at par in on 16 July 1994. No subdivisions of this sum were initially issued and only banknotes were produced, in denominations of 1, 3, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1,000, 5,000, and 10,000 sum. Further series, however, have introduced coins and a subunit, the [[tiyin]]. Because it was meant to be a transitional currency, the design was rather simplistic.

==Etymology==
<!-- Dear editor, if you edit this etymology, please also edit the copy on Kyrgyz som -->
The official name of the [[Soviet ruble|Soviet currency]] in [[Kazakh language|Kazakh]], [[Kyrgyz language|Kyrgyz]], [[Tajik language|Tajik]], and [[Uzbek language|Uzbek]] was ''som'', and this name appeared written on the back of banknotes, among the texts for the value of the note in all 15 official languages of the USSR. The word ''sum'' (alternatively transliterated "som" or "soum") means "pure" in [[Kazakh language|Kazakh]], [[Kyrgyz language|Kyrgyz]], [[Uyghur language|Uyghur]] and [[Uzbek language|Uzbek]], as well as in many other [[Turkic language]]s. The word implies "pure" [[silver]] or [[gold]].

== First sum ==
===History===
Like other republics of the former [[Soviet Union]], Uzbekistan continued using the [[Soviet ruble|Soviet]]/[[Russian ruble]] after independence. On 26 July 1993, a new series of [[Russian ruble]] was issued and the old Soviet/Russian ruble ceased to be legal tender in Russia.<ref name=GFD>{{cite web|url=http://www.globalfinancialdata.com/index.php3?action=showghoc&country_name=Russia|title=The Global History of Currencies - Russia|access-date=12 November 2017|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070104044317/http://www.globalfinancialdata.com/index.php3?action=showghoc&country_name=Russia|archive-date=4 January 2007}}</ref><ref name=tradeReport>{{cite web|url=http://dosfan.lib.uic.edu/erc/economics/trade_reports/1993/Uzbekistan.html |title=Uzbekistan Economic Policy and Trade Practices |author=U.S. Department of State |date=February 1994 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100710173157/http://dosfan.lib.uic.edu/ERC/economics/trade_reports/1993/Uzbekistan.html |archive-date=2010-07-10 |access-date=19 September 2015}}</ref> Some successor states had their national currencies before the change, some chose to continue using the pre-1993 Soviet/Russian ruble, and some chose to use both the pre-1993 and the new Russian ruble. ''Tables of modern monetary history: Asia''<ref name=TMMH>{{numis cite TMMH|region=asia}}</ref> implies that both old and new rubles were used in Uzbekistan.

Uzbekistan replaced the ruble with the sum at par in on 15 November 1993.<ref name=TMMH/> No subdivisions of this sum were issued and only banknotes were produced, in denominations of 1, 3, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1,000, 5,000, and 10,000&nbsp;sum. Because it was meant to be a transitional currency, the design was rather simplistic. All notes had the [[Coat of arms of Uzbekistan|Coat of arms]] on the obverse, and Sher-Dor Madrasah of the [[Registan]] in Samarkand on the reverse.

===Coins===
No coins were issued for the first sum.

===Banknotes===
The first banknotes were issued by the State Bank of Uzbekistan in 1993. All of the denominations share the same designs: the [[Emblem of Uzbekistan|Coat of arms of Uzbekistan]] on the front and the madrasahs on [[Registan]] Square in Samarkand.

== Second sum ==

===History===
[[File:UZS500 1999 front.jpg|thumb|500&nbsp;sum note issued in 1999.]]
On 1 July 1994,<ref name=TMMH/> a second sum was introduced at a rate of 1 new&nbsp;sum = 1,000 old&nbsp;sum. This sum is subdivided into 100 ''tiyin''.

==== Inflation ====
Until 2013, the largest denomination of Uzbek currency was the 1,000-sum banknote, then worth US$0.60, requiring Uzbeks to carry large bundles of notes for routine transactions.

Back in 2019, a new largest denomination was issued, the 100,000-sum banknote (as of October 2019 worth US$10.55), which made the situation easier. The smallest denomination, the [[Tiyin|1 tiyin]], is worth less than {{frac|9400}} of a US cent making it the "world's most worthless coin" that was still legal tender until 1 March 2020. However, coins and banknotes smaller than 50&nbsp;sum are rare now.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-21572359|title=The most worthless coin in the world|first=Laura|last=Gray|work=BBC News|date=26 February 2013|access-date=12 November 2017}}</ref>

The rampant inflation situation is considered a politically sensitive issue in Uzbekistan, which is why the Uzbek government is slow to acclimate the currency to its current value by issuing higher coin and note denominations. As a result, the current highest coin denomination in circulation is the 500&nbsp;sum while the highest banknote denomination is the 200,000&nbsp;sum. Official state figures put inflation as of the first half of 2011 at 3.6%, however accurate numbers are pinned far higher. Coins and banknotes below 50&nbsp;sum are practically worthless now.

=== Coins ===
Three series of coins have been issued for the second sum. They can be easily distinguished by the script used for the [[Uzbek language]]. The first series was written in [[Cyrillic script#Uzbek|Cyrillic script]], while the second and third series is written in [[Latin alphabet|Latin script]].

====Third series (2018–2022)====
In May 2018 the introduction of new coins valued 50, 100, 200 and 500&nbsp;sum was announced. All previously issued banknotes and coins of those denominations were to be withdrawn from circulation by 1 July 2020. In 2022, the Central Bank of the Republic of Uzbekistan introduced a 1,000 sum coin into circulation, notable as it is the first bi-metallic coin issued for circulation since the introduction of the Uzbek sum in 1994.

=== Banknotes ===
The second and current series, issued by the Central Bank of the Republic of Uzbekistan, was released in 1994 in denominations of 1, 3, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100&nbsp;sum. A 200&nbsp;sum banknote was issued in 1997, the 500&nbsp;sum in 1999, the 1,000&nbsp;sum in 2001, the 5,000&nbsp;sum in 2013, the 10,000&nbsp;sum on 10 March 2017, the 50,000&nbsp;sum on 22 August 2017 and the 100,000&nbsp;sum on 25 February 2019. The latter four denominations feature inscriptions in [[Uzbek language|Latin-based Uzbek]] as opposed to [[Uzbek language|Uzbek Cyrillic]] in banknotes of 1 to 1,000 Uzbek&nbsp;sum. On 14 June 2021, the [[Central Bank of the Republic of Uzbekistan]] issued the 2,000 and 20,000&nbsp;sum banknotes to help bridge the gap between 1,000 and 5,000&nbsp;sum as well as 10,000 and 50,000&nbsp;sum. On 18 June 2021, the Central Bank of the Republic of Uzbekistan issued new 5,000 and 10,000&nbsp;sum banknotes, utilizing the design templates of the 2,000 and 20,000&nbsp;sum banknotes. In that same year, the Central Bank of the Republic of Uzbekistan issued new 50,000 and 100,000&nbsp;sum banknotes as part of a new series of banknotes first introduced with the 2,000 and 20,000&nbsp;sum banknotes. An entirely new 200,000&nbsp;sum banknote was issued on 15 July 2022.

===Exchange rates===
At its introduction on 1 July 1994, 1 US dollar was equal to 25&nbsp;sum.

==== 2017 reform ====
On 2 September 2017, [[President of Uzbekistan]] [[Shavkat Mirziyoyev]] issued a [[decree]] "''On priority measures of liberalizing foreign exchange policy''".<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.gov.uz/en/news/view/11989 | title=Starting from 5 September 2017, the exchange rate of the Central Bank is set at 8100 UZS for 1 USD | author=The Government portal of the Republic of Uzbekistan | date=2017-09-05 | access-date=8 September 2017}}</ref> The reform took effect on 5 September 2017. The currency was untethered from its [[United States dollar|US dollar]] [[Fixed exchange-rate system|peg]] and started to [[Floating exchange rate|float]]. As a result the sum's exchange rate to the US dollar increased from 4,210 Uzbek&nbsp;sum to 8,100 Uzbek&nbsp;sum. The new rate was even weaker than the sum's [[black market|black-market]] convertibility of about 7,700 to the dollar. Restrictions on the amount of foreign currencies individuals and companies could buy were also abolished on the same day.<ref>{{Cite news | url=https://www.rferl.org/a/uzbekistan-devalues-currency/28718291.html | title=Uzbekistan Devalues Currency As It Emerges From Decades-Long Isolation | author=Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty | newspaper=Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty | date=2017-09-05 | access-date=8 September 2017}}</ref>
