History reference:
The state monetary unit of Hungary is the Hungarian Forint (Hungarian Forint, international code - HUF). Used since 1946, before that the pengő was used as the Hungarian currency, which could not sur...vive the largest hyperinflation in history. Previously, forints had small change coins - fillers, but now they are out of circulation. When the Hungarian National Bank first issued the new currency, banknotes denoting 10 and 100 forints entered circulation. Each forint was subdivided into 100 fillers. Until 1991, following the inflationary processes, the National Bank expanded the available set of banknotes by issuing banknotes with a higher denomination. Later, it was decided to revise the design of the currency, and since 2001, on each banknote, on the one hand, a Hungarian statesman is depicted, and on the other, an event associated with his activities. It should be noted that there are no watermarks on the forints. Protection against counterfeiters is provided, first of all, by a holographic strip.

History reference:
The Colombian Peso is the official currency of the Republic of Colombia. The peso became the Colombian coin in 1810. In 1837, the peso began to replace the real. Then for one peso they gave 8 reais. ...In 1847, Colombia revised the value of the peso, which began to be valued at 10 reais. In 1853, the real was renamed desimo, which means "tenth" in Spanish. In 1903, the Central Bank of Colombia set a fixed rate on the British pound sterling, according to which 5 pesos were equal to 1 pound. In 1931, Great Britain abandoned the gold standard, in the same year the Colombian pesos also moved away from the gold-currency equivalent standard. Later, in different periods of the existence of the state, the peso experienced several devaluations caused by economic crises in the country.
