About Icelandic Krona (kr)
The Icelandic Króna (ISK, ISO 4217 code 352, symbol kr) is the official currency of Iceland, issued by the Central Bank of Iceland (Seðlabanki Íslands, est. 1961). Subdivided into 100 aurar (singular: eyrir, plural: aurar — no longer in circulation since 2003). Banknotes: kr500 (poetess Jónas Hallgrímsson), kr1,000 (Bishop Brynjólfur Sveinsson), kr2,000 (painter Jóhannes Sveinsson Kjarval), kr5,000 (suffragist Ragnheiður Jónsdóttir), kr10,000 (poet Jónas Hallgrímsson, introduced October 2013 — the highest denomination); coins: kr1, kr5, kr10, kr50, kr100. The króna was famously the only OECD national currency to declare formal default during the Global Financial Crisis — Iceland's three largest banks (Glitnir, Landsbanki, Kaupthing) collapsed October 2008, ISK lost ~50% of its value, and Iceland imposed capital controls (lifted gradually 2016-2017). Iceland is not in the EU (twice rejected EU accession — 2002 referendum, 2013 accession freeze under PM Gunnlaugsson) and uses ISK as its sole legal tender. The Seðlabanki targets 2.5% CPI inflation per the Inflation-Targeting framework adopted March 2001. Iceland has ~390,000 population and is one of the world's wealthiest per-capita nations.
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). Once Bulgaria adopts EUR, the BGN-EUR fixing will be locked at the current 1.95583 rate.
