About Moldovan Leu
The Moldovan Leu (MDL) has been the official currency of Moldova since 1993, replacing the Moldovan cupon interim currency used after independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. The word "leu" means "lion" in Romanian. The National Bank of Moldova manages monetary policy with a managed float. Moldova is one of Europe's least developed countries, with an economy strongly dependent on agriculture (wine, fruits, vegetables), remittances from the large Moldovan diaspora working in Russia and EU countries, and light manufacturing. The leu is divided into 100 bani.
About US Dollar
The US Dollar (USD) is the world's primary reserve currency, used in approximately 88% of all foreign exchange transactions globally. Introduced in 1792 with the Coinage Act, the dollar became the cornerstone of the international monetary system under the 1944 Bretton Woods Agreement. Even after the gold standard was abandoned in 1971, the dollar maintained its dominant status - oil and most global commodities are priced in dollars, and major sovereign debt is primarily denominated in USD. The Federal Reserve System (Fed) manages US monetary policy.
