Anyway, when I came back after my last trip (no plans to visit there again anytime soon) I realized I had about 1,500 euros worth of Ukrainian Hryvnia. So I naievely asked my personal bank manager if I could deposit the notes into my account in the branch. I guess she probably flagged me for that.
Quite possible in my opinion. Banks are generally more cautious about cash deposits than bank transfers. If you add Ukraine with the current situation there, they've got a reason to flag you for a KYC procedure I guess.

Doesn't mean that they still won't kick you out if you flat out say you're advertising online porn though. :/
