About Bulgarian Lev (лв)
The Bulgarian Lev (BGN, ISO 4217 code 975, symbol лв; the word 'lev' comes from old Bulgarian for 'lion') is the official currency of Bulgaria, issued by the Bulgarian National Bank (BNB, est. 1879 — the oldest national institution in Bulgaria continuously operating since national independence). Subdivided into 100 stotinki (singular: stotinka). Banknotes: 5 лв, 10 лв, 20 лв, 50 лв, 100 лв (highest denomination); current series introduced 1999 features Bulgarian historical figures — Hristo G. Danov, Petko Slaveykov, Stefan Stambolov, Pencho Slaveykov, Aleko Konstantinov, Ivan Vazov. Coins: 1 ст, 2 ст, 5 ст, 10 ст, 20 ст, 50 ст, 1 лв, 2 лв. BGN is pegged to the Euro at BGN1.95583 per EUR via the Currency Board Arrangement established 1997 (during Bulgaria's hyperinflation crisis when inflation peaked at 1,058% in 1997). Bulgaria joined the EU in 2007 and ERM-II in July 2020 with a target date for Euro adoption of January 1, 2025 (most recently postponed to January 1, 2026).

About Hungarian Forint (Ft)
The Hungarian Forint (HUF, ISO 4217 code 348, symbol Ft) is the official currency of Hungary, issued by Magyar Nemzeti Bank (MNB, est. 1924). Subdivided into 100 fillér (no longer in circulation since 1999). Banknotes: 500 Ft, 1000 Ft, 2000 Ft, 5000 Ft, 10000 Ft, 20000 Ft (highest denomination); current series features Hungarian historical figures — Ferenc II Rákóczi, István Széchenyi, Ferenc Deák, Mátyás Király, Lajos Kossuth, István Bocskai. Coins: 5 Ft, 10 Ft, 20 Ft, 50 Ft, 100 Ft, 200 Ft. Hungary joined the EU in 2004 with a commitment to eventually adopt the Euro, but has not done so — Hungary has consistently failed to meet Eurozone convergence criteria, particularly the budget deficit and inflation rate thresholds. Under Prime Minister Viktor Orbán (since 2010), Hungary has resisted EU pressure for Euro adoption. The MNB targets 3% CPI inflation ± 1 percentage point. The forint experienced massive depreciation in 2022 (peak inflation 25.7% in January 2023 — the highest in the EU at that time). Hungary is a major auto-manufacturing hub (Audi at Győr, Mercedes at Kecskemét, BMW under construction at Debrecen, Suzuki at Esztergom, BYD planned 2025).
