History reference:
The Comorian franc is the currency of the state of Comoros. Comoros is a small island nation located in the Indian Ocean off the eastern coast of Africa. 3 languages are recognized as official here: ...French, Comorian, Arabic, which is reflected in the inscriptions on banknotes and coins of Comoros. The Comoros entered the franc zone in 1976. The name of the national currency is borrowed from the former metropolis, which is quite typical for states that were former colonies of France. The Comorian franc was put into circulation almost immediately after the countrys independence, replacing the French colonial franc. The Central Bank of Comoros, which is the main and only issuer of the national currency in the country, exchanged French colonial francs for the national currency at a ratio of one to one. But the relatively high exchange rate of the Comorian franc did not last long. During the period of the 80-90s of the last century, as a result of inflationary processes, it depreciated quite a lot, after which smaller denominations and coins were withdrawn from circulation.

History reference:
Bulgarian Lev. The first coins and banknotes were issued at the end of the nineteenth century. In the everyday life of modern Bulgaria there are seven denominations of coins and six denominations of ...banknotes, sample of 1999. 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.
