Currency

Czech Koruna (Czech. Koruna česká) - The monetary unit of the Czech Republic. Consists of 100 gellers. Hryvnia to the krona: 1 UAH = 2.4 CZK. It is worth noting the features of currency exchange.
you may be charged an exchange fee, and even having a "0% commission" sign does not mean that you do not have one;
two different exchange rates is another trick. The course, which is posted before entering the exchange office, can only be valid for large transactions (more than 1000 euros).
The main advice is to write down the amount you are going to change, and ask the cashier next to write how much you will get. The least chance of being duped is to use big banks or exchange money in "Arab exchanges", which can easily be found by the blue oval with the inscription CHANGE and an Arab employee.
