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 national currency of Romania as the official currency is the leu, otherwise called the Romanian new leu. The new leu is the fourth leu in a series of revaluation currencies since 1867. The new le...u replaced the old Romanian leu (currency symbol ROL) in July 2005 at a rate of 10,000 old lei for one new leu. The current version was used together with the previous leu from March 2005 to June 2006 during the conversion period. Throughout history, the leu has been pegged to currencies of other countries such as the German Reichsmark, the US dollar and the Russian ruble. While Romania is currently planning to adopt the euro as its main currency in 2024, the leu is not currently pegged to the euro.
