About Moldovan Leu (L)
The Moldovan Leu (MDL, ISO 4217 code 498, symbol L; plural: lei) is the official currency of the Republic of Moldova, issued by the National Bank of Moldova (BNM, est. 1991). Subdivided into 100 bani. Banknotes: L1, L5, L10, L20, L50, L100, L200, L500, L1,000 (the highest denomination); the current series features the medieval Moldavian prince Stephen the Great (Ștefan cel Mare, r. 1457-1504) portrait on all denominations and Moldovan landmarks — the Soroca Fortress, the Stephen the Great Memorial in Chișinău, etc. Coins: 1 ban, 5 bani, 10 bani, 25 bani, 50 bani, L1, L2, L5, L10 (most coins are rarely circulated due to inflation). MDL replaced the Russian ruble in Moldova in late 1993. Moldova is one of Europe's poorest economies (~$16B GDP, ~2.5 million population) but applied for EU membership immediately following Russia's invasion of Ukraine (March 3, 2022) and was granted candidate status June 23, 2022. The Russian-occupied breakaway region of Transnistria uses its own unrecognized 'Transnistrian ruble' (PRB). BNM targets 5% CPI inflation ± 1.5 percentage points.
About Ukrainian Hryvnia (₴)
The Ukrainian Hryvnia (UAH, ISO 4217 code 980, symbol ₴; pronounced 'griv-nia') is the official currency of Ukraine, issued by the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU, est. 1991). Subdivided into 100 kopiyok (singular: kopiyka). Banknotes: ₴1, ₴2, ₴5, ₴10, ₴20, ₴50, ₴100, ₴200, ₴500, ₴1000 (the highest denomination, introduced 2019; current series features Ukrainian historical figures — Volodymyr the Great, Yaroslav the Wise, Bohdan Khmelnytsky, Ivan Mazepa, Ivan Franko, Mykhailo Hrushevsky, Taras Shevchenko, Lesya Ukrainka, Hryhoriy Skovoroda, Volodymyr Vernadsky); coins: 10 kop, 50 kop, ₴1, ₴2, ₴5, ₴10. The hryvnia replaced the karbovanets (KBV) on September 2-16, 1996 at 1 UAH = 100,000 KBV — Ukraine's hyperinflation in 1992-1995 had peak annualized rates of ~10,000%. Following Russia's February 24, 2022 full-scale invasion, the NBU initially fixed UAH at 29.25 per USD, then devalued ~25% in July 2022, and shifted to a 'managed flexibility' regime in October 2023. International donor support and EU/IMF/USAID financing have stabilized UAH despite war.
