Here’s one of the more curious finds on Craiglist’s free-in-Brooklyn’s boards over the weekend. Eighty 5-cent Ukrainian coins from 1992, doled out in pairs only. “2 per person so there is coins for 40 people, all you have to do is call me and come meet me in Brooklyn by train station Kings Highway on B and Q line …. if you need more coins bring someone with you :)” This sounds sketchy in too many ways to contemplate, all the more so because 10 cents Ukrainian is only worth 1.3 cents U.S., according to current exchange rates. We’re no expert on hryvnia, as the consonant-dense currency is called, but the 24 fake Christmas trees in Sunset Park seem like a better deal. With lights!
Free on Craigslist: Ukrainian nickels, limit 2 per person
