During the first seven or eight years of the existence of the lev, coins made of gold and silver were issued into circulation, and in 1928 the equality “1 lev \u003d 10.8695 mg of gold” was established. The 2nd World War made adjustments to the countrys economy. Occupied Bulgaria exchanged the national lev for the Reichsmark at a rate of 33.0:1. Liberated by the Soviet troops, Bulgaria changed its money again, but this time to the Soviet ruble (15:1). After the end of World War II, within two to three years, the exchange rate of the lev against the dollar rose to the level of 120.00-150.00 leva per dollar. The population did not have the opportunity to freely exchange money, even at such a rate.
