When the Som was introduced, 25 Som were equal to 1 US Dollar. Currently, the largest denomination of Uzbek currency, the 1,000-som bill, is worth approximately 60 cents U.S, requiring Uzbeks to carry enormous numbers of bills just to do grocery shopping and pay bills. The Som was initially a word which was used in Uzbekistan to describe the Ruble, so the Som is simply another word for it.
