What does the money look like?


One of the questions my mother often asks me when travelling is the question "What does the money look like?". Rather than being a sign of greed (she is the least greedy person I know) I believe this to be an expression of a pecuilar interest in cash, that is, the physical representation of money.
Anyway, this time I can answer the question before I leave, since I just spread Гривень (Greeven) all over my kitchen table. I have some different versions but the ones on the pictures seem to be newest versions. (Or it is the fake? Brightly colored, the monopoly version??. Click on the picture for larger versios.
100 Ukrainian Hryvnia (UAH) = 151 Swedish Crona (SEK) = 16,4€. (All according to Oanda.com.)
