Money exchange
The National Currency - Hryvnia, Hryvna, Hryvnya, (UAH) - was introduced in September, 1996. There are bills for 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200 Hryvnias.
1 Hryvnia = 100 kopiykas. There are coins for 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, and 50 kopiykas.
It is preferable to bring US dollars with you. These can be changed at exchange points around the city. Make sure your foreign currency bills are crisp and new looking. Rumpled, torn and written-on bills are usually rejected. Avoid changing money with private individuals.
Personal checks practically do not exist in Ukraine, but many places in Kyiv accept major credit cards. Travellers' cheques can be cashed in a number of banks. However, do not rely solely on credit cards or travellers' cheques. Cash is preferred.
