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).
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.
