Old and worn banknotes
Which Banknotes are Considered Old and Worn?
The “old” category includes earlier banknote series and notes with visible signs of prolonged use.
Issued before 2003
The NBU has already issued a new version of this denomination, and the old one has been completely withdrawn from circulation.
Very worn in appearance
The ink has faded, the design has lost its colour, and the paper has become soft and lost its stiffness.
Worn or torn edges
The edges have become worn or torn due to prolonged use.
Such banknotes remain legal tender, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to use them in day-to-day transactions – cashiers in shops, payment terminals and even some bank branches may refuse to accept them. Therefore, exchanging unsuitable banknotes at the exchange office near Gradusnik in Kharkiv will quickly resolve this issue.

Why Shouldn’t You Keep Old Banknotes at Home?
Many people put old USD bills aside – and that’s a mistake:
- Their condition only deteriorates over time: the paper becomes soft, the images fade, and the risk of further damage increases.
- The worse the condition, the harder it is to exchange. Banknotes that can easily be exchanged today may fall below the acceptance threshold in a few months’ time.
- There is a risk of complete loss of value. Damaged or counterfeit notes that the owner does not submit in good time are eventually withdrawn from circulation without compensation.
We therefore advise you to exchange any problematic notes straight away – quickly and profitably, whilst their condition still allows it.
Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do some banks not accept old banknotes?
Banks often rely on their own internal regulations and do not always have the resources or inclination to deal with non-standard cases – such as old series, or banknotes that are significantly worn or damaged. This requires additional time for expert assessment, which is why many branches prefer simply to turn customers away. Unlike them, we specialise precisely in such cases.
Can old dollar bills with writing on them be exchanged?
In many cases, yes. The presence of inscriptions, stamps or marks on a banknote does not always prevent it from being exchanged. The final decision is made following a face-to-face inspection of the banknote by one of our specialists – please bring it in and we will assess it on the spot.
Do you need a passport to exchange old banknotes?
No, you don’t need your passport to exchange old banknotes. Just bring the banknote with you, and we’ll assess it straight away and exchange it for you.
Is there a commission charged for exchanging old dollar bills?
No, we exchange these banknotes at the exchange rate with no hidden fees – you receive the amount shown immediately after the banknotes have been assessed.
