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 Swiss Franc
The Swiss Franc (CHF) is the official currency of Switzerland and Liechtenstein, and one of the most important safe-haven currencies in the world. The name "franc" derives from the Latin "Francorum Rex" (King of the Franks). Switzerland is not a European Union member and has maintained its own currency, which regularly appreciates during global financial uncertainty due to Switzerland's political neutrality, strong banking sector, and fiscal discipline. The Swiss National Bank (SNB) manages monetary policy.
