History reference:
The lek is the monetary unit of Albania and has been in circulation since 1926 along with the Albanian franc. For a long time, Albania was part of the Great Ottoman Empire, and was not an independent... state. In 1912, the country declared its sovereignty, and after that announced the beginning of the war of liberation. After Albania finally acquired sovereignty, Austro-Hungarian, Italian, and also French banknotes are in circulation in the country. The Albanian franc appeared in 1926, when Albania became part of the Latin Monetary Union, and was able to provide the domestic currency with gold and silver. A lek was considered 1/5 of a gold franc. In 1965, a denomination was carried out in Albania. Old money was exchanged for new money at a ratio of 10:1, so that people of the past and the generation before last can quote ten times the real price. Not out of malice, but simply out of old habit. Although now, after more than half a century since the reform, this is becoming less and less common.

Kazakhstani (Kazakh) tenge is the national currency of Kazakhstan. The history of the Kazakhstani tenge begins on November 15, 1993, when the currency was put into circulation. Prior to this, residen...ts used different currency means. The last currency used is the Soviet ruble, which was in the country when Kazakhstan was part of the USSR. According to archaeologists, the first money that appeared on the territory of Kazakhstan is of Chinese origin. And this is not surprising, since the country was located on the Great Silk Road connecting Europe and Asia. Since the 6th century, coins of Turkic rulers have appeared in circulation. And from the 8th century, the steppe nomads of the region were invaded by the Arabs and settlements began to be carried out in silver dirhems. The first mints appeared in such ancient cities as Baraba, Ispidzhab, Taraz. The raw material for minting was the local silver mines located in the upper reaches of the Talas and Akhangaran rivers.
