The currency of Poland is the złoty.
At today's average exchange rate in Poland
1 euro=4 zloty.
1 USD = PLN 3.8
In Ukraine, buying 1 euro will cost 26 UAH. 1 dollar can be bought for 24 UAH.
So 1,000 hryvnias are equivalent to 38.5 euros, which can be exchanged in Poland for 154 zlotys.
Or 1000 UAH. = $41.7 = PLN 158.5 Therefore, it is more profitable to change dollars.
But zlotys in Ukraine can be bought at the rate of 5.7 UAH. Then 1000 UAH = 175 PLN. Therefore, buying a Polish zloty at home is the most profitable. The only thing is that when buying currency, you will have to pay 2% to the Pension Fund + all sorts of documentary formalities: your passport and TIN (copies) will be removed from the bank during a currency exchange transaction. If this scares you, then the market "money changers" will come to your aid absolutely free of charge, but with a slightly lower rate.

Yes, in Zhytomyr it is impossible to buy Polish zlotys from money changers, and even more so in banks. in Poland, exchangers change almost everything (including hryvnia and Russian rubles)

It is best to change money in official exchangers, and not at street money changers. Exchangers in Poland are called Kantor (kantor), there are many of them. Sometimes it is more profitable to change money in an exchanger inside a large shopping center - there is often an exchange without a commission. But of course, it all depends on the bank to which this exchange office belongs. If you are traveling by car, do not rush to change a large amount immediately at the border - the exchange rate is often unfavorable there.

And yet, on weekends the exchange rate is always higher than on weekdays, and on Friday after seven in the evening it is more profitable to return dollars in the exchanger. I didn’t understand the system for myself, because I don’t have anyone to ask (I don’t know Poles), but I know from my own experience. While I was thinking how much to change before seven, I handed over $ 20 and after seven in the evening with a difference of 10 minutes, I thought that I needed to change a little more, received a different amount of zlotys.
