History reference:
The Paraguayan Guarani (Guarani) has been the national currency and money of the Republic of Paraguay since 1944. Centimo tokens have not been issued since 1954 and are not used in cash circulation d...ue to their extremely low purchasing power due to chronically high inflation. The name Guarani comes from the eponymous group of Indian peoples living in Paraguay and partly in neighboring states. The origin of the word "Guarani" is still controversial. According to one version, translated from the dialect of the Tupi people, “Guarani” means “warrior”. The term was used by the first Jesuit missionaries to name the Indians who converted to Catholicism. The rights of the emission center belong to the Central Bank of Paraguay, founded in 1952.

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.
