It's weird you show the price in some currency I don't even know what it is (even if it says 10 dollars small next to it).

Just show and charge 10 USD. You can localize that other currency (Rubles?) if GeoIP matches.

It's possible the local legislation disallows charging in non-local currency. Eg. can you charge in rubles in USA?

Sure, you could charge in hotdogs if you wanted to.

I wonder where's the Bank of Hotdogs based in the US? :)

The point is that you need a bank to accept a payment in foreign currency and debit it into your account.

The problem with charging in rubles in the USA isn't the currency, it is that a person who transacts in rubles likely lives in Russia. And, thanks to the Ukraine invasion, the USA has sanctions that make paying someone in Russia rather difficult.

I was somewhat curious about that myself... if someone in the US even could pay for this site/app.
