History reference:
The Suriname dollar is the currency of the Republic of Suriname. From the end of the 17th century, the Surinamese guilder was used as a currency in Suriname, which was in circulation on a par with th...e Dutch guilder. In 1940, after the occupation of the Netherlands by Germany, the Surinamese guilder was pegged to the US dollar at a ratio of 1.88585 guilders to 1 dollar. High inflation in the early 1990s caused the Surinamese guilder to depreciate catastrophically, prompting a monetary reform. In the main circulation there are banknotes of 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 Surinamese dollars issued in 2004 and 2010, as well as coins in denominations of 250, 100, 25, 10, 5 and 1 cent.

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.
