Ukrainian Hryvnia to Hungarian Forint

The Ukrainian hryvnia (sign грн, code UAH) serves as the national currency of Ukraine. It is not printed or accepted outside it. Kopiykas are used as change for the Ukrainian hryvnia.

Every UAH has 100 kopiykas. The currency has been in circulation since 1996. Prior to that, there was the karbovantes, and even earlier there was the Soviet ruble. The word “hryvnia” comes for the term “mane”. It defined coins with strings, resembling a bright mane of a golden horse. The word became widespread in old Rus. It was used as a weight measurement.

The Hungarian forint (symbol: Ft : codes: HUF and 348) is the official currency of Hungary, introduced on the territory of the newly formed state in the post-war years. The first modern forint dates back to 1946. It is on the list of the convertible currencies of the CLS system.

Forint is divided into one hundred fillers (discontinued). The banknotes depict portraits of monarchs, historical figures, and the images of the related architectural monuments. The encoding uses the international character ƒ. Pengyo was the predecessor of the forint since 1927.
