About Nigerian Naira (₦)
The Nigerian Naira (NGN, ISO 4217 code 566, symbol ₦) is the official currency of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, issued by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN, est. 1958). Subdivided into 100 kobo. Banknotes: ₦5, ₦10, ₦20, ₦50, ₦100, ₦200, ₦500, ₦1,000 (the highest denomination; current series features Nigerian historical figures including Sir Tafawa Balewa, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, and includes the famously short-lived redesigned 2022 series); coins are rarely used in daily transactions. CBN announced a 'currency redesign' in October 2022 (new ₦200, ₦500, ₦1,000 banknotes) requiring withdrawal of old notes — implementation was chaotic, with widespread cash shortages in early 2023 contributing to election-period unrest. Nigeria is Africa's largest economy by nominal GDP (~$390B in 2024 per IMF WEO) and the world's 13th-largest oil producer (~1.4 million bpd). CBN abandoned the formal peg to USD in June 2023 under the new Bola Tinubu administration, unifying the official and parallel rates — naira depreciated ~70% in 12 months. Inflation reached 33%+ in 2024.
About Romanian Leu (lei)
The Romanian Leu (RON, ISO 4217 code 946, symbol lei; the plural of 'leu' meaning 'lion' in Romanian) is the official currency of Romania, issued by Banca Națională a României (BNR, est. 1880). Subdivided into 100 bani. Banknotes: 1 leu, 5 lei, 10 lei, 20 lei, 50 lei, 100 lei, 200 lei, 500 lei (the highest denomination; current polymer series introduced 2005 features Romanian historical figures — Nicolae Iorga, Aurel Vlaicu, Nicolae Grigorescu, Ion Luca Caragiale, Mihail Kogălniceanu, Lucian Blaga, Constantin Brâncuși, George Enescu); coins: 1 ban, 5 bani, 10 bani, 50 bani. Romania redenominated its currency on July 1, 2005 — 1 'new leu' (RON) = 10,000 old lei (ROL — ISO 946 reused) — reducing dramatically large nominal values that had resulted from 1990s inflation. Romania joined the EU in 2007 with a commitment to Euro adoption (originally targeted 2015, then 2019, then 2024, now indefinitely postponed beyond 2030). The BNR targets 2.5% CPI inflation ± 1 percentage point. Romania is the EU's 7th-most-populous country (~19 million) and the 12th-largest EU economy by GDP (~$380B).
