About the Romanian Leu
The Romanian Leu (symbol: lei; code: RON) is the official currency of Romania, issued by the National Bank of Romania. Each leu is divided into 100 bani. Meaning 'lion' in Romanian, the leu underwent a dramatic redenomination in 2005 when four zeros were removed (10,000 old lei became 1 new leu). Romania remains committed to eventually adopting the euro but has no fixed timeline.
