"Twenty two hryvnyas and twenty two dollars"

Translation: Двадцять дві гривні і двадцять два долари

[RobertLech3]

Why are they not both "двадцять дві"?

[Kapnik]

Почему здесь "і", а не" та"

[CJTilzey]

According to the Ukrainian grammar book I have at home, та is mostly used when there is a vowel on both sides. So in this instance because it is preceded by a vowel and followed by a consonant, you'd use і.
