The National Bank of Ukraine could not rename 50 kopecks to 'steps' — instead it released chocolate 'steps'.
The National Bank of Ukraine reached an agreement with the Silpo supermarket chain to release chocolate coins in the shape of 'steps'. This happened amid the need to pass a relevant law to rename the coin with a denomination of 50 kopecks to 'steps'.
The launch of the new product was announced by the head of the National Bank of Ukraine, Andriy Pishny.
The chocolate 'steps' were produced in a round shape from milk chocolate according to a sketch 1918 of the year developed by artist Heorhiy Narbut.
The novelty was devoted to 30-year of hryvnia, which will be celebrated on 2 September.
