All about Hungarian currency

The intricacies of the Hungarian Forint

Welcome to the fascinating world of the Hungarian Forint (HUF), a currency that’s been central to Hungary’s economy since 1946. Named after Florence’s “fiorino” coins, the forint reflects Hungary’s rich cultural history and economic resilience.

From its introduction post-World War II to its evolution as a modern currency, the forint remains a symbol of Hungarian pride.

Whether you're looking to convert AUD to Hungarian Forint for your Budapest escapades or marvel at the artistic designs of HUF notes, this currency is as functional as it is iconic.

Hungarian notes and coins

Notes are available in denominations of 500, 1000, 2000, 5000, 10000, and 20000 HUF, with designs showcasing national heroes like King Saint Stephen and iconic landmarks like the Esztergom Basilica.
Coins include 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 forint, ensuring you’re ready for everything from metro rides across Budapest to enjoying a hearty bowl of goulash in a local eatery.
