The history of banknotes in Moldova reflects the economic and political evolution of this Eastern European country. Since its independence in 1991, Moldova has undergone several changes in its currency and monetary system, adapting to the changing needs of its economy and society.
Current banknotes in circulation
Currently, the official currency of Moldova is the Moldovan leu, introduced in 1993. Banknotes in circulation include denominations of 1, 5, 10, 10, 20, 50, 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1000 lei. These banknotes feature modern designs that reflect Moldovan culture and history, with portraits of important historical figures and national monuments. The National Bank of Moldova has implemented advanced security measures on these banknotes to prevent counterfeiting.
Old banknotes and notable events
Prior to the introduction of the leu, Moldova briefly used the Moldovan coupon as a transitional currency between 1992 and 1993. This period marked the transition from the Soviet economy to an independent market economy. An important milestone in Moldovan notafilia was the 2013 commemorative issue, which celebrated the 20th anniversary of the introduction of the leu with a special 200 lei bill. In addition, in 2015, Moldova launched its first series of polymer banknotes, starting with the 1 leu denomination, marking a significant breakthrough in banknote printing technology in the country.
