The solution of the multicriterial solution of a rational variant for improving of the Ukrainian hryvnia banknote durability has been carried out by analyzing the costs and benefits of the technologies used. Based on the decomposition problem using AHP there have been constructed the hierarchies of costs and benefits of the alternative processes using of double-side intaglio printing, durable banknotes substrate, protective varnishing, as well as integrated solutions. Based on the expert matrix judgment on the conjugal comparisons criteria of costs and benefits of global goals, i.e. costs and benefits of technology using and their alternative comparison matrices there have been determined that the most efficient option is the simultaneous application of a protective vanishing and durable substrate, and also the separate use of a protective vanishing and durable substrate.

Keywords: durability, AHP, BOCR analysis, Ukrainian hryvnia, intaglio printing, banknotes varnishing, banknote paper.
