Metal instead of paper. NBU introduced new coins of one and two hryvnias. They believe that replacement of cash to the coins will positively influence the Ukrainian economics.
Besides, new coins will be made from steal – so the procedure of their coin will be cheaper. From 1 July the NBU will stop coining 1, 2, 5, 25 kopiykas.
The banknotes of 5 and 10 hryvnias will be replaced by appropriate coins in 2019-2020.
