Memorable coin with image of Russian president Vladimir Putin will appear in Ukraine in the near future.

As author of the project Valentine Khaletsky informed, the 1 hryvna-coin with Putin`s portrait will be presented in State Duma soon.

"There will be an exhibition of coins in State Duma within 1-2 weeks. The coin should popularize Ukrainian currency in Russia. The draft of coin was sent to Putin and received no objections", - said Khaletsky.

As a reminder, coins with portrait of current president Victor Yushenko, ex-premier-minister Yulia Timoshenko and ex-president Leonid Kuchma have been minted earlier. Ukrainian coin with Putin image is a souvenir and not the currency - one can`t buy bread or lard for it.
