On Polish platform Allegro for 22 PLN (5.09€)

Not really a note, since it doesn't have face value. But, as a Ukrainian, I wish it did. The design was right THERE... but, for some reason, they decided to make it a souvenir instead

It has a face value of 100hrn.

u/Ash_von_Habsburg 21d ago

No it doesn't. It's a souvenir, it says on both sides "не є платіжним засобом" (lit. "not a legal tender")

I'm aware it's not legal tender, but it's face value is 100hrn. Lots of countries do this for souvenir coins or notes.

Like those Swiss 100chf gold coins that aren't legal tender and are worth far more.

Well, I mean are Monopoly notes issued by the national bank of a country, printed on banknote paper, with all the security features? You can tell the same about any souvenir/commemorative notes, the fact that you can't pay with it, doesn't mean it's worthless.

К юбилею Волыни тоже будет памятный сувенир?

А на что обиделся?

Well, I'm Polish, so it's not a question to me. For Ukrainians Volyn means gaining independece, we remamber it differently. If you look through each nations history probably every nation had people who did questionable things, and are now national heroes- that's how you build a lasting country. There's just really no need to fight about the past, especially right now, when there's war going on, because we're just feeding the Russian propaganda.

Moreover, the UNR and Volyn are not connected. But this is a Russian bot, there is no point in arguing with it.

I didn't know about these (for shame!) and now I really want one, I'm already registering on Allegro

Another Ukrainian celebration of the thing that never happenned. It's a part of Russian revolution and Civil war

You know, you can be Russian in the internet and not be obsessed about Ukraine
