Go buy some stamps. I just ordered every single Europa booklet they had in stock and with shipping it came to about US$10.50.
If you're into Russian stamps, US$1.00 is worth ₽50 right now. Good deals can be had.

Good deals can be had. Great time for us Canucks to sell at the moment. Not so great to buy in US$ got to factor at least 25% on top of sale price . |

Still a good deal better than what it was last year. |

Ok. But where do we get this nice deal on stamps? And is that a Russian Ruble Symbol?

Buy the stamps directly from the Ukrainian post office: poshta.kiev.ua/nishop.phpClick on the little British flag to get the site in English. |

Just going through old posts I've missed - the Ruble character you're using shows up correctly on my Windows 7 system, as does the Hryvia symbol. I've never intentionally downloaded a Unicode font update (my computer dates from 2012), but it's likely that this is handled automatically as a part of the Windows update scheme.
