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.

Since November 15, 1993, in the Republic of Uzbekistan, in order to protect the domestic market from excess ruble supply, additional temporary banknotes "sums" or sum-coupons were introduced in a ratio of 1: 1 to the Soviet ruble. On July 1, 1994, by the Decree of the President of Uzbekistan, a constant currency is put into circulation - the Uzbek Soum at the rate of 1 sum = 1000 sum-coupons. On July 1, 2013, the Central Bank of the Republic of Uzbekistan issued a new banknote with a face value of 5,000 soums. Currently, all banknotes and coins are in circulation, but banknotes up to ten and coins up to twenty-five soums are not used.
