Something Ukrainian: encrypted charms in our national costumes, one of the oldest currencies in the world, mellow sounds of the Ukrainian Carpathians and the brilliant perfection of Scythian treasures.
Number 5: HRYVNIA
Hryvnia – the national currency of Kyivan Rus and independent Ukraine. It was widely used by Prince Volodymyr the Great. The hryvnia was the general currency in Rus until the 14th century. The official hryvnia went into circulation on August 25, 1996.
In 2008 and 2013, the Aesthetics Commission of the International Financial Bank in Switzerland ranked the hryvnia (UAH) as the most beautiful currency in the world.
