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 Hungarian Forint
The Hungarian Forint (HUF) has been the official currency of Hungary since 1 August 1946, introduced as part of a post-World War II monetary reform that ended one of history's worst hyperinflations - at its peak, prices doubled every 15 hours. The word "forint" derives from the Italian city of Florence (fiorino d'oro). Hungary has been an EU member since 2004 but has not yet adopted the Euro. The Magyar Nemzeti Bank (Magyar National Bank) manages monetary policy. Hungary's economy is strongly integrated with Western European supply chains, particularly the automotive sector.
