About Ukrainian Hryvnia Exchange
The Ukrainian Hryvnia (UAH) is the official currency of Ukraine, introduced in 1996 following the country’s independence from the Soviet Union. We accept all denominations of Hryvnia banknotes and coins, including older series and damaged notes.
Current Ukrainian Hryvnia Banknotes
Current Ukrainian Hryvnia banknotes are issued by the National Bank of Ukraine and feature prominent historical and cultural figures from Ukrainian history. The series includes a range of denominations, all incorporating modern security features such as watermarks, security threads, and holographic elements. We accept all current Hryvnia banknotes, regardless of denomination, so whether you’ve returned from Kyiv with a handful of smaller notes or higher-value banknotes, we can exchange them all.
Old Series & Damaged Notes
Unlike most high street exchanges, we also accept older withdrawn series of Ukrainian Hryvnia as well as notes that are torn, worn, or otherwise damaged. As long as a note is at least 50% intact, we can generally make you an offer — though the rate may be slightly lower than for current series notes. If you’re also sitting on leftover currency from neighbouring countries, we exchange Belarusian Rubles and Polish Zloty too.
Ukrainian Hryvnia Coins
We accept Ukrainian Hryvnia coins, including the kopiyka denominations that many exchanges and UK banks simply won’t take. Coin exchange rates are slightly lower than banknote rates due to the additional handling involved, but it’s a straightforward way to recover value from coins that would otherwise sit unused in a drawer.
