What is the difference between “old” and “new” dollars?
As noted on the PrivatBank website, there is no legal distinction between “old” and “new” dollars. All American banknotes issued since 1914 are considered legal tender.
Which dollars are considered new?
The new ones are the 100-dollar bills with a blue 3D ribbon, which began to be issued in 2013. Other denominations were updated even earlier:
- 5 dollars – in 2008;
- 10 dollars – in 2006;
- 20 dollars – in 2003;
- 50 dollars – in 2004.
What can you do with “old” dollars?
If you have banknotes from previous years, you can:
- Do nothing – they remain valid.
- Exchange them for hryvnias.
- Deposit them, transfer to a card, or buy bonds (OVGZ).
- Exchange them for euros.
- Give them to relatives or friends who are traveling abroad.
Even if the U.S. decides to withdraw old notes from circulation, this process will take many years. The panic surrounding this issue only benefits those who want to buy currency at a low rate.
