The dollar is definitely stronger on this trip, though that's probably more a reflection of a weak Euro.
Back in July 2008, it cost us $1.5843 to buy 1 Euro. Then two years ago, it fell to $1.2945 to a Euro. It went up last year to a high of $1.4838, but has steadily lost value to the dollar where it's now $1.2660 to a Euro.
It won't make too much of a difference to us on this trip. We will only use Euros in Poland. The stores in the airport will take dollars and the tourist stores downtown where we will be at Saturday night take credit cards.
In Ukraine each of our dollars buy 8.0785 Ukrainian Hryvnia. Since 2009 the government has kept the currency pegged at around 8:1.
The rates are of June 28.
