In 1961, the Central Bank of Iceland was established, which, starting in 1963, began issuing banknotes, gradually replacing the National Banks banknotes in circulation. In 1981, a monetary reform was carried out in the country: old kroons were exchanged for new ones from January 1 to June 30 at a ratio of 100:1.

History reference:
The Moldovan leu is the currency of Moldova. The Moldovan leu became the national currency of Moldova in late autumn 1993. Despite the large number of economic reforms and political upheavals that th...e Republic of Moldova experienced during the years of its independence, its money has changed little. The main role in the internal and external markets of the Moldavian Principality was played by foreign silver and gold coins: ducats, florins, zlotys and others. In the 17th century, the Dutch coin “leeuwendaalder”, which depicted a lion, also penetrated the Balkans and Moldova. The inhabitants of Moldova called these coins lei. In 1867, this name was given to the currency of Romania, and after the collapse of the USSR, the monetary unit of Moldova. The Bulgarian lev has exactly the same etymology.
