About Icelandic Krona (kr)

The Icelandic Krรณna (ISK, ISO 4217 code 352, symbol kr) is the official currency of Iceland, issued by the Central Bank of Iceland (Seรฐlabanki รslands, est. 1961). Subdivided into 100 aurar (singular: eyrir, plural: aurar โ€” no longer in circulation since 2003). Banknotes: kr500 (poetess Jรณnas Hallgrรญmsson), kr1,000 (Bishop Brynjรณlfur Sveinsson), kr2,000 (painter Jรณhannes Sveinsson Kjarval), kr5,000 (suffragist Ragnheiรฐur Jรณnsdรณttir), kr10,000 (poet Jรณnas Hallgrรญmsson, introduced October 2013 โ€” the highest denomination); coins: kr1, kr5, kr10, kr50, kr100. The krรณna was famously the only OECD national currency to declare formal default during the Global Financial Crisis โ€” 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 โ€” 2002 referendum, 2013 accession freeze under PM Gunnlaugsson) and uses ISK as its sole legal tender. The Seรฐlabanki 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 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 Naศ›ionalฤƒ a Romรขniei (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 โ€” Nicolae Iorga, Aurel Vlaicu, Nicolae Grigorescu, Ion Luca Caragiale, Mihail Kogฤƒlniceanu, Lucian Blaga, Constantin Brรขncuศ™i, George Enescu); coins: 1 ban, 5 bani, 10 bani, 50 bani. Romania redenominated its currency on July 1, 2005 โ€” 1 'new leu' (RON) = 10,000 old lei (ROL โ€” ISO 946 reused) โ€” 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 ยฑ 1 percentage point. Romania is the EU's 7th-most-populous country (~19 million) and the 12th-largest EU economy by GDP (~$380B).
