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 (Ștefan cel Mare, r. 1457-1504) portrait on all denominations and Moldovan landmarks — the Soroca Fortress, the Stephen the Great Memorial in Chișinău, 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 ± 1.5 percentage points.
About Turkish Lira (₺)
The Turkish Lira (TRY, ISO 4217 code 949, symbol ₺) is the official currency of the Republic of Türkiye (Turkey) and Northern Cyprus, issued by the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye (CBRT, est. 1930). Subdivided into 100 kuruş. Banknotes: ₺5, ₺10, ₺20, ₺50, ₺100, ₺200 (the current 'E-9 Emission' series introduced 2009 features Atatürk on all denominations + scientific/cultural figures on the reverse — Mehmet Akif Ersoy, Cahit Arf, Ahmet Yesevi, Itri, Ohanesyan, Aşık Veysel, Fatma Aliye); coins: 1 kr, 5 kr, 10 kr, 25 kr, 50 kr, ₺1. Türkiye removed six zeros from its currency on January 1, 2005 — 'New Turkish Lira' (Yeni Türk Lirası, YTL) at 1 new = 1,000,000 old, simply renamed back to 'Türk Lirası' (TL/TRY) on January 1, 2009. Türkiye has experienced repeated severe currency crises — the 2018 lira crisis, the 2021 'lira shock' under President Erdoğan's unorthodox 'rate cuts cure inflation' theory, and ongoing inflation crisis (peak ~85% in October 2022, ~64% in May 2024 per TÜİK). The CBRT abandoned heterodox policies under Mehmet Şimşek + Hafize Erkan in June 2023.
