В грошовий обіг гривню було запроваджено 1996 року. Вона
замінила таку валюту як купоно-карбованець, котра була перехідною валютою та
використовувалась разом з радянським рублем. Згодом рубль став майже не
використовуватись.
1991 року розроблявся дизайн гривні, купюр різних
номіналів.
Через складну економічну ситуацію масовий випуск гривні
відбувся аж у 1996 році. Те ж саме стосується українських монет – копійок.
На аверсах гривень зображені видатні постаті з історії України:
1 – Володимир Великий
2 – Ярослав Мудрий
5 – Богдан Хмельницький
10 – Іван Мазепа
20 – Іван Франко

50 – Михайло Грушевський
100 – Тарас Шевченко
200 – Леся Українка (Лариса Косач)
А найпізніше

Хмельницький
