Rur

(also Roer), a river in Belgium, the Federal Republic of Germany, and the Netherlands; a right tributary of the Meuse. It is 208 km long and drains an area of approximately 2,500 sq km. The Rur originates in the Hautes Fagnes upland. Its upper and middle courses, with well-developed meanders, flow through a forested valley. The lower Rur is regulated by dams. There are freshets in the winter and spring. The Rur is not navigable. The cities of Monschau, Düren, and Jülich (Federal Republic of Germany) are on the Rur, and the port of Roermond (Netherlands) is at its mouth.

RUR

ISO 4217 code for the Russian ruble prior to 1998. The code was adopted in 1992 after the fall of the Soviet Union. Legally, the currency was identical to the old Soviet ruble, though for the most part it only circulated in Russia. The ruble was redenominated at a ratio of 1,000 to one in 1998, at which point it received the new code "RUB."
