The hryvnia (sometimes hryvnya; Ukrainian: гривня; IPA: [hrĭv'njä]) has been the national currency of Ukraine since September 2, 1996. It replaced the karbovanets at the rate of 1 hryvnia = 100,000 karbovantsiv. The hryvnia is subdivided into 100 kopiyok. The ISO 4217 codes are UAH and 980.
Name
Etymology
The hryvnia was used as currency in Kievan Rus' in the 11th century. The word hryvnia is thought to derive from the Slavic griva; c.f. Russian and Bulgarian грива, "mane". Hryvnia may have indicated something valuable worn around the neck, usually made of silver or gold; c.f. Russian grif (гриф , "neck") or c.f. Bulgarian grivna (гривна , "bracelet"). Later, the word was used to describe silver or gold ingots of a certain weight; c.f. Russian grivennik (гривенник, '10-kopek piece'). Other smaller currency units were nogata (ногата, 'pelt of a large animal such as a bear or wolf', kuna (куна, 'pelt of a small animal such as a mink or sable; c.f. Croatian kuna). The smallest was veksha (векша, "squirrel pelt").
Hryvnia is sometimes incorrectly transliterated as hryvna, due to its Russian language counterpart, гри́вна, pronounced grívna. The National Bank of Ukraine has recommended that a distinction be made between hryvnia and hryvna in both historical and practical means[citation needed]. Linguistic research was cited as proof that hryvnia refers to medieval currency and hryvna to the woman's decoration of that time (as the Bulgarian grivna mentioned above).
Plural
In Ukrainian, the nominative plural form is used for numbers ending with 2, 3, or 4, as in dvi hryvni (дві гривні, "2 hryvni"), and the genitive plural is used for numbers ending with 5 to 9, and 0, for example sto hryven’ (сто гривень, "100 hryven’"). The singular for the subdivision is копійка (kopiyka), the nominative plural is копійки (kopiyky) and the genitive is копійок (kopiyok).
Currency sign
![Hryvnia currency sign](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/16/Hryvnia_sign.svg/50px-Hryvnia_sign.svg.png)
The hryvnia sign is a cursive Ukrainian letter He, with a double horizontal stroke, symbolizing stability, similar to that used in other currency symbols such as ¥ or €. Hryvnia is abbreviated "грн." (hrn.) in Ukrainian. The hryvnia sign ₴ [may not be rendered in all browsers] was released in March of 2004. The specific design of the hryvnia sign was a result of a public contest[1] held by National Bank of Ukraine in 2003. The bank announced that it would not take any special steps of promoting the sign, but expressed expectations that the recognition and the technical possibilities of rendering the sign would follow.[2] As soon as it was discovered, a proposal to encode it was written. The sign was encoded as U+20B4 in Unicode 4.1 released in 2005. It is now supported by the latest computer systems such as Windows Vista.
History
The hryvnia replaced the karbovanets during the period September 2-16, 1996, at a rate of 1 hryvnia = 100,000 karbovantsiv. The hryvnia was introduced during the period that Victor Yuschenko was the head of National Bank of Ukraine. The first banknotes issued have the signature of the previous National Bank head, Vadym Hetman, who resigned in 1993. This is because first notes were printed as early as 1992 by Canadian Bank Note Company and it was decided to delay using them due to hyperinflation that was in Ukraine after USSR's collapse.
Initially, the foreign exchange rate was UAH 1.76 = USD 1.00. But following the Asian financial crisis in 1998 the currency devaluated to UAH 5.45 = USD 1.00. Since that the exchange rate is relatively stable around 5 hryvnias for 1 U.S. dollar.
Coins
Coins were first struck in 1992 for the new currency but were not introduced until 1996. In addition to those listed below which were released into circulation, 15 kopiyok coins were struck in both brass and aluminium[citation needed].
