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.
