    Would 'Thousands of dollars and thousands of Hryvnyas' work?

      No, тисяча is just one thousand. Thousands of dollars/hryvnias would be тисячі доларів/гривень.

        Ok it also might be the way I would say it in English.

          Is Один unnecessary? Can Тисчча be "A hundred"?

            It is "одна тисяча," but "одна" can be omitted in this case (both variants are accepted).

              I'm trying to match sound files - I'm pronouncing 'тисяча' correctly in the first half of the sentence, but I'm somehow mispronouncing it in the second half? I know that i may actually be doing it - but I've got to be legibility close: I clearly have the ability to get it!
