One of the first things we had to do when we got to Ukraine was exchange money. When we got here the exchange rate was about 5 grivna to the dollar. Now it is about seven grivna to the dollar. So the grivna is starting to go down, but that’s not bad for us. Up above is a picture of 20 grivnas. The smallest grivna is 1 and the largest we’ve used is a 2 hundred grivna. One way you can tell the difference is in the size. Most other countries like Ukraine have the bigger and smaller bills for bigger and smaller amounts. The U.S is about the only one that doesn’t do this. Also they are different colors. This is another thing that most other countries except for the U.S. does. So that’s just a few of my observations on some of the money here in Ukraine.
