Kateryna Zhiriy16:14, 01.10.25The revival of the name of the coins “step” is justified by the historical and linguistic tradition of Ukraine. A bill to rename the coin “kopeck” to “step” has been registered in parliament . “In the context of large-scale Russian aggression, replacing kopecks with shags is an important and necessary step, because today kopecks remain in circulation only in states hostile to Ukraine. “Over a hundred Ukrainian folk sayings and proverbs mention the shag, which indicates its widespread existence among the people. Accordingly, according to the NBU’s estimates, there will be no additional costs associated with the disposal of 50-kopeck coins and the production of 50-shag circulation coins to replace them.
