Converting from Bulgarian Lev (BGN) to Australian Dollar (AUD)

What is Bulgarian Lev (BGN)

The Bulgarian Lev (BGN) is the official currency of Bulgaria, a country located in Southeast Europe. The name "Lev" translates to "lion" in English, symbolizing strength and resilience. The currency has a rich history, having been introduced in 1880. The Lev replaced the obsolete currency known as the "Turkish lira."

One of the defining features of the Bulgarian Lev is its fixed exchange rate system; since 1997, it has been pegged to the Euro at a rate of approximately 1.95583 BGN per Euro. This peg aims to stabilize the economy and foster investor confidence. As such, the Lev is managed by the Bulgarian National Bank, which regulates its supply and ensures monetary stability.

The Lev is subdivided into 100 stotinki, which is the smaller unit of currency. Banknotes come in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 Lev, while coins are in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 stotinki, along with 1 Lev coins. The currency is widely used for daily transactions within Bulgaria and is essential for both locals and visitors.

What is Australian Dollar (AUD)

The Australian Dollar (AUD) serves as the official currency of Australia and several of its territories, including Christmas Island and the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. It is also used in various Pacific Island nations. The Australian Dollar was adopted in 1966, replacing the Australian Pound at an exchange rate of 2 AUD for 1 Pound. This change helped Australia transition to a decimal-based currency system, making transactions simpler.

The Australian Dollar is known for its stability and is among the top 10 most traded currencies worldwide. It is represented by the symbol "＄," but to differentiate it from other Dollar-based currencies, it is often abbreviated as "AUD." The currency is subdivided into 100 cents, with coins available in denominations of 5, 10, 20, and 50 cents, as well as 1 and 2 Dollar coins. Banknotes are available in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 Dollar notes, featuring vibrant colors and advanced security features.
