I have a complicated relationship with #Ukraine, because right there on one of their bills they honor a man who killed many of my ancestors.
"Five Hryvnia in Ukraine and the Man who Killed My Ancestors," from my "World in Currency" series -- https://joelmhoffman.com/Human-Stories/series/the-world-in-currency/five-hryvnia-in-ukraine-and-the-man-who-killed-my-ancestors/
(This was also where I either was or wasn't followed by the secret police, and where I certainly had to grapple with a wealth gap in real way.)

Costa Rica has no military, a fact they celebrate #OnThisDay. I wrote about it here as part of my "World in Currency" series: https://joelmhoffman.com/Human-Stories/series/the-world-in-currency/5000-colones-in-costa-rica/ ["5,000 Colones in Costa Rica"]
Happy Día de la Abolición del Ejército, Costa Rica!
