Yes, it is
like in "Master and Margarita"(Khudozhestvennaya literatura,M., 1988,
p.166):
"-Ñäàþ...Òûñÿ÷ó äîëëàðîâ è äâàäöàòü çîëîòûõ äåñÿòîê."
People had the real ones for a while after the Revolution.
"- Íî äàë-òî îí âàì ÷åðâîíöû, êàê âû ãîâîðèòå?
-Ìíå ëè ÷åðâîíöåâ íå çíàòü,- îòâå÷àëà Àííóøêà."(p.330)
All the time they talk about Soviet paper money, naming them as before
Revolution, "chervontsy" -the golden 10 ruble-coin.
