Converting from Romanian New Leu (RON) to CFA Franc - BEAC (XAF)

What is Romanian New Leu (RON)

The Romanian New Leu (RON) is the official currency of Romania. It was introduced in 2005, replacing the previous currency, the old leu, at a rate of 10,000 old lei to 1 new leu. The currency symbol for the new leu is “lei,” and it is denoted by the abbreviation RON, which stands for "Romanian New Leu."

The Romanian economy has seen significant changes in recent years, transitioning from a predominantly state-run system to a more market-oriented one. As a result, the Romanian leu became more stable and was integrated into the European Union's economic system. Although Romania is not yet a member of the Eurozone, the government aims to adopt the euro in the coming years.

The RON is subdivided into 100 bani. Coins are available in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 50 bani, and 1, 5, 10 leu. Banknotes come in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 200, and 500 leu. The currency is regulated by the National Bank of Romania, which helps maintain its stability and manage inflation.
