Dollar Denominations - Which Foreign Bills to Take in Exchange Offices.


If you regularly buy American currency for savings or payments, it’s useful to know which dollar bills are best to use for specific situations. Often, Ukrainians are sold the 100-dollar denomination, but it is not always convenient to take it on trips.
The website Novyny.LIVE explains which denominations of dollars should be in the wallets of currency buyers.
Which Bills Are Best for Ukrainians to Buy
The answer to this question depends on a person's needs. For example, if your goal is to hold foreign savings, it's better to accumulate the 100-dollar bill — the largest denomination in the American financial system. Exchange offices and banks will easily give out these bills, they are more convenient to store, and they take up less space in a safe.
On the other hand, if you are planning a trip abroad, it’s worth stocking up on smaller denominations — from 1 to 50 dollars, as well as cents. They are convenient for making purchases in stores and establishments, paying for public transport, etc. Part of the funds can be deposited into a bank account, while the rest can be exchanged for smaller bills.
Another point is large purchases. When you need to pay for household appliances, a vehicle, or even real estate, no one gives out 10-dollar bills. In such cases, the largest denomination will come in handy, so consider your own needs when ordering currency from an exchange office.
