It is reported that most often such denominations are withdrawn in the ATMs of large cities, with the exchange of currencies, as well as in the "black market" of foreign currencies. The largest number of counterfeits law enforcement officers seized during bank collections in Lviv, Odessa, Volyn and Transcarpathia. The proximity of the region to Europe also contributes to the smuggling of currency, including without watermarks.
Scammers do not miss the opportunity and fake foreign denominations in denominations of 100 euros and dollars, which most often flow into the country from Europe and Middle Asia. There are times when high-quality counterfeits can pass devices to check cash units, but if you are careful, you can recognize such counterfeit bills by touch.
As reported in "Ura-Inform", recently in Kiev in one of the banks seized a large batch of fake hryvnia.
