About Polish Zloty (zł)
The Polish Złoty (PLN, ISO 4217 code 985, symbol zł) is the official currency of the Republic of Poland, issued by Narodowy Bank Polski (NBP, est. 1945). Subdivided into 100 grosz (singular) / grosze (plural). Banknotes: 10 zł, 20 zł, 50 zł, 100 zł, 200 zł, 500 zł (the 500 zł was introduced February 2017 to commemorate King John III Sobieski; the highest denomination); coins: 1 gr, 2 gr, 5 gr, 10 gr, 20 gr, 50 gr, 1 zł, 2 zł, 5 zł. Poland joined the EU in 2004 and committed to eventually adopting the Euro under the Maastricht convergence criteria, but no target date has been set — Poland has consistently kept the złoty floating. The NBP targets 2.5% CPI inflation ± 1 percentage point per the Monetary Policy Council framework. Poland was the only EU economy not to enter recession during the 2008-2009 Global Financial Crisis. Poland is Eastern Europe's largest economy (~$870B GDP), a major manufacturing hub (electronics, automotive, aerospace), and a NATO defense industry pillar with substantial increases in military spending since Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
