Currency and banks

The Ukraine currency is called the Hrivna, pronounced Grivna. The national bank of Ukraine controls as best it can the Ukraine economy and like all countries in the world today the Ukraine economy has suffered.

 

Ukraine money is made up of Hrivna notes in the following denominations.

5 Hrivna

10 hrivna

20 hrivna

50 hrivna

100 Hrivna

200 hrivna

500 hrivna

 UA200

500uah

Although you can get a little confused as there are 2 issues of most of these with the older issues slowly falling out of circulation.

Small change is composed of Kopeks with 100 of these equal to 1 Hrivna.
