Starting August 21, the National Bank of Ukraine will issue modified 20 hryvnia banknotes. A patriotic slogan "Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the Heroes!" will be featured on the back side of the notes.

This information has been shared by the NBU press service.

It is noted that all other design and security features of these banknotes correspond to the 20 hryvnia notes from the 2018 series, the details of which are available on the official website of the National Bank.

With the introduction of these new banknotes, the NBU will support banks and companies for their further issuance and replacement of worn-out or damaged notes.

Citizens do not need to exchange the old 20 hryvnia notes for the new ones, according to the National Bank.

"As a legal means of payment, they will circulate alongside other banknotes of the same denomination from previous years and must be accepted at their nominal value by all individuals and legal entities without any restrictions across Ukraine for all types of payments," the statement reads.
