Привет!

When counting items, you need to keep in mind that a noun changes depending on the numeral.

1 (or the last digit is 1) → nominative case, singular
1 рубль / тысяча

2, 3, 4 (or the last digit is 2-4) → genitive case, singular

2 рубля / тысячи

5 and more (or the last digit is 5 and more) → genitive case, plular
5 рублей / тысяч

11, 12, 13, 14 are exceptions, you need to use a noun in the genitive case, plural.
