The Polish cinternational currency is known as the Zloty or "golden". At this time, it is worth about $.33 on the American dollar. It breaks down to 100 groszy. The currency underwent redenomination in the 1990's as a result of soaring inflation.

First, it must be clarified what the difference is between redenomination and revaluation. Redenomination simply means that X Old Currency becomes Y New Currency. For example, Turkey revalued the Turkish Lira some time ago where 1,000,000 Old Turkish Lira became 1 New Turkish Lira. This just meant that if a loaf of bread previously cost 1.3 million Old Turkish Lira, it now costs 1.30 New Turkish Lira. You have no more money than you did before. Revaluation is when a country gains a much stronger economy which buoys up the value of the currency. For example, imagine that a load of bread costs $3.00, then the currency is revalued, now the bread will cost $2.00, with the same bills that you had from before. This makes everything cheaper and therefore, your money is worth more.
As concerns redenomination, there is no official date posted by the Iraqi Government. The government hints that it will get to it eventually, but consistently delays this. The Iraqi Government has NOT ever claimed that revaluation is even a possibility. Most economic analysts hold that the claim that Iraqi Dinars will be revalued is fraudulent and is an attempt to lure gullible people away from their money.

If you mean when it will revalue at a higher rate, then probably never. "The bottom line is that Iraq does not want an appreciating currency because it would not do the country any good. Iraq wants economic growth, not currency growth." -John Jagerson - Investor Place

From wikipedia:
As a result of inflation in the early 1990s, the currency underwent redenomination. Thus, on January 1, 1995, 10,000 old złotych (PLZ) became one new złoty (PLN).
Therefore you have 4.74 new Polish Zlotych at current exchange rate:
11 DEC 2012 1 PLN= 0.319 US
4.74*0.319=$1.51 US dollars

The ruble or rouble (Russian: рубль rublʹ, plural рубли rubli; see note on English spelling and Russian plurals with numbers) (code: RUB) is the currency of the Russian Federation and the two partially recognized republics of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Formerly, the ruble was also the currency of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union before their dissolution. Belarus and Transnistria use currencies with the same name. The ruble is subdivided into 100 kopeks (sometimes transliterated kopecks, or copecks; Russian: копейка, kopéyka; plural: копейки, kopéyki). The ISO 4217 code is RUB or 643; the former code, RUR or 810, refers to the Russian ruble before the 1998 redenomination (1 RUB = 1000 RUR).
Currently there is no official symbol for the ruble, though the abbreviation руб. is in wide use. Various symbols have been suggested as possibilities, including "РР" (Cyrillic for "RR"), an "R" with two horizontal strokes across the top (similar to the Philippine peso sign), ₱, a "Р" with one horizontal strike
