US dollars, Russian roubles and the Euro can easily be exchanged, the British Pound much less so.
Notes to be exchanged should be in pristine condition.
Changing travellers cheques involves a lengthy process and should be avoided.
Western Union and MoneyGram have many offices scattered throughout the country for sending and receiving money.
There is a chronic shortage of small demonination notes in Ukraine.
