The French Pacific franc is the currency used in Frances overseas possessions: New Caledonia, French Polynesia, Wallis and Futuna. The international currency code is XPF, introduced in 1945. At the s...ame time, the peg was carried out not to the French (due to the instability of this currency) franc, but to the US dollar. The issue of currency is carried out by the Issuing Institute of Overseas Territories of France. When it was introduced in December 1945 (the CFA franc was introduced at the same time), the abbreviation CFP consisted of the initial letters of the French words Colonies françaises du Pacifique (Pacific French colonies). Since 1967, the monetary unit has been called the "franc of the French offices in the Pacific" (from Comptoirs françaises du Pacifique - French offices in the Pacific). Now the abbreviation CFP (CFP) officially stands for Change Franc Pacifique (Pacific Exchange Franc).

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.
