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 (ศ˜tefan cel Mare, r. 1457-1504) portrait on all denominations and Moldovan landmarks โ€” the Soroca Fortress, the Stephen the Great Memorial in Chiศ™inฤƒu, 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 ยฑ 1.5 percentage points.
