Ukrainian hryvnia has recently been recognized as the most beautiful currency.In addition, these bills are one of the strongest.The word itself, which is called the Ukrainian currency, has a long history.In ancient Russia in hryvnya were silver or gold jewelry or bullion, which were used as a means of circulation.At a later time, or so-called three-desyatikopeechnye coins.Recent were made of silver.
first attempt to restore the hryvnia fell to a short time of Ukrainian independence - 1917-1918.However, the financial project collapsed after the country's occupation by the Bolsheviks.In Ukraine, the Soviet notes were used, and then - gold coins and rubles.
After the Soviet Union collapsed, the governments of the national republics began to gradually get rid of the Soviet money.In the winter 1992 Ukrainians began to use a new currency - the coupons or, as they are called, karbovanetses.All these banknotes same size.The purchasing power of one coupon was negligible.In addition, the Ukrainian currency is constantly subjected to a serious devaluation.Coupon-karbovanetses had a very low level of protection and quickly wiped.For these several reasons there is a need in the new currency.The currency reform in 1996 led to the emergence of the hryvnia.One unit of the new currency accepted a hundred thousand coupon karbovancev.The currency reform was nekonfiskatsionnoy, premeditated.Her conduct was civilized and encourage public confidence in the new currency.On the first day of reform prices, tariffs and wages were converted to hryvnia.It was held exactly two weeks until mid-September 1996, and with maximum comfort for the population.Initially, the dollar against the hryvnia was 1: 1.76.
most of its history gradually devalued the Ukrainian currency.The hryvnia in 1998 fell to 3.46 per dollar.In 2003, the ratio of American and Ukrainian currency has been 1: 5.33.However, there were bright times for the hryvnia.Under President Yushchenko's government policy and the National Bank was to stabilize the Ukrainian currency.For a long time the dollar against the hryvnia was held at the level of 1: 5.05.There was even a short period of the revaluation of the national currency.In the summer of 2008, one dollar was worth 4.6 UAH.But the bright days are over for the hryvnia.Already in the winter of that year, the dollar sold at the price of 6.74 USD.Now the ratio of US currency and hryvnia set by the National Bank, remained stable at around 1: 7.99.However, according to some forecasts, the reduction of gold reserves in Ukraine have a negative impact on the course of its currency.It is possible that at the end of the year the dollar will cost UAH 9.The course of the Ukrainian currency against the ruble - 1: 4.04 for the day.It is possible devaluation this year may affect the ratio for Russian money.
Today the Mint of Ukraine is one of the best in the world.National Bank is still in the nineties created a modern and unique logistical base for the production of money.Banknote paper, which is made of the Ukrainian currency, the factory produces Malin.
