Reborn as a state in 1991, after being a republic of the Soviet Union, Georgia installed public telephones that used electronic chip cards in 1996, but disposed of them in 2000, issuing only 7 cards. The former, supplied by Incard, reported the date 10/96 and were a series of three values: 50 units, with circulation 50,000, 100 units (30,000) and 200 units (20,000).
