All that's US dollars, I assume. Unless you're talking Centre's USD coins.

What about the crypto side of it?

Yeah, paper currency. It was important for the bills to be crisp, otherwise they'd trade at a ~10% discount. I don't know how crypto has changed things, I don't do anything related to Ukraine anymore.
That was the same in monte negro with euros. They only accepted crisp euros even though I had brought those from an actual EU country - they wouldn’t accept them. And that was their “official” currency
As a US citizen with access to US banks, I guess I don't care if the money is crisp or not. Maybe there is an arbitrage opportunity there ...
