Ukraine to Change the Design of the New 2,000-Hryvnia Banknote

In Ukraine, the design of the new 2,000-hryvnia banknote will be changed

The reason was the possible connection between the Bickham Script font used on the banknote and Russia. Its unlicensed Cyrillic version was created by Russian designer Alexandra Gofman back in 2005.

The National Bank of Ukraine presented the new banknote on July 10. It features the Ukrainian poet and dissident Vasyl Stus. The banknote is planned to be put into circulation on September 4, the anniversary of the poet’s death.
