About Bulgarian Lev
The Bulgarian Lev (BGN) is the official currency of Bulgaria, with a history dating to 1880 when it replaced the Turkish piastre after Bulgaria's liberation. The word "lev" means "lion" in Bulgarian. Following a severe financial crisis in 1996-1997, a currency board was established and the lev was pegged first to the Deutsche Mark and then to the Euro at 1.95583 BGN per EUR. Bulgaria is an EU member since 2007 and is working towards adopting the Euro. The Bulgarian National Bank issues the lev, which is divided into 100 stotinki.
About Albanian Lek
The Albanian Lek (ALL) is the official currency of Albania, with a history dating back to 1926. The name "lek" is believed to derive from a shortened form of "Aleksander", referring to Alexander the Great, who is celebrated in Albanian culture. Albania is a candidate for European Union membership, and the lek may eventually be replaced by the Euro upon accession. The Bank of Albania issues the lek, which is divided into 100 qindarka. Albania's economy is transitioning from a communist system to a market economy, and the lek has gradually stabilised over the past two decades.
