Which banknotes are withdrawn from circulation and replaced with new ones - clarification of the NBU.
The National Bank of Ukraine refuted the information circulated on the network about the urgent removal from circulation of old-style 50 and 200 dollar bills (issued in 2003-2007).
The NBU emphasized that this is not a withdrawal from circulation, but a planned replacement of worn and outdated banknotes with modern banknotes of the 2014 model. The National Bank announced this process back in October 2024.
Citizens do not need to specifically go to banks to exchange money.
Old-style banknotes remain a valid means of payment - they can be used freely in shops or bank terminals.
Currently, the National Bank is gradually replacing banknotes in denominations of 20 and 100 hryvnias (from January 2023), 500 (August 2024), as well as 50 and 200 (from November 2024).
