The amount of fake money has increased in Ukraine

The National Bank of Ukraine reported an increase in the level of fake hryvnia in 2024. Nevertheless, the indicators remain controlled.

Last year, 5.1 fakes accounted for 1 million real banknotes. This is less than in 2021, when 7.1 fakes were made up a million notes.

The most popular among the fraudsters are the denominations of 500 and 200 UAH . However, the new sample banknotes (released in 2015-2020) account for only 5.5% of all the counterfeits withdrawn.


NBU experts explain that modern generation banknotes - denominations of 100, 200, 500 and 1,000 hryvnias - have advanced design and improved protection systems, which significantly complicates their forgery.
