<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 1538938, member: 12789&quot;]The coins were struck in the Luhans&#039;k Cartridge Factory beginning in 1992, there are lots dated that year that are still in circulation.&nbsp; They were released into circulation beginning in 1996 when Ukraine adopted Hryvnia as their currency.&nbsp; For a long time, maybe until 2004 or so the 1992-1996 dated coins were the coins most often encountered in circulation.&nbsp; The crazy part of the early coinage was that when they were planning it they did some patterns with variations of the design and I got a 25 kopeikii coin in change a few years ago that was an unadopted pattern.&nbsp; It seems that some of the patterns may have been mixed in with the circulation coinage before they were released.&nbsp; Nowadays more of the coins are recent mintage as the mint has caught up with demand.&nbsp; So much so that the small steel coins, ie 1, 2, and 5 kopeika are littering the streets.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
