What is Romanian New Leu (RON)

The Romanian New Leu, known by its abbreviation RON, is the official currency of Romania. The term "Leu" translates to "lion" in Romanian, a nod to the historical connection with coins featuring lion engravings used in early Romanian trade. The New Leu was introduced in 2005, replacing the old Leu (ROL) at the conversion rate of 10,000 old Lei for 1 new Leu, thus simplifying transactions and accounting in the country.

The Leu is subdivided into 100 bani. It comes in banknote denominations of 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 200, and 500 Leu, as well as coin denominations of 1, 5, 10, 50 bani, and 1 Leu. The Romanian economy is heavily impacted by various factors, including EU membership, international trade, and inflation rates, all of which can influence the exchange rate of RON against other currencies.

For those traveling or engaging in business with Romania, familiarizing oneself with the Leu and its values in relation to one’s own currency is crucial to ensure smooth transactions and accurate budgeting.
