All About Romanian Currency
A quick guide to money in Romania
The Romanian Leu (RON), symbolised as L or written as lei for plural, is the official currency you'll be splashing out across this land of old-world charm.
The Leu (L) has a long history but was revamped in 2005 when Romania revalued its currency and 1 new Leu (L1) replaced 10,000 old Lei. Like many modern notes, Romania's banknotes are made from durable polymer, meaning they’re waterproof, tear-resistant, and ready for anything – whether you're hiking the Carpathians or caught in a sudden Transylvanian storm (spooky!).

Romanian Notes and Coins
Ever been confused counting currency in a foreign country? Join the club!
Let’s break it down for you:
- The Romanian Leu (L) is divided into 100 bani.
- Coins are available in denominations of 1, 5, 10, and 50 bani.
- Banknotes come in L1, L5, L10, L50, L100, L200, and L500.
While smaller-value notes once existed, they’ve since been replaced by coins to further improve durability.
Traveller tip: most everyday purchases in Romania are made using a combination of coins for small expenses and L10 to L100 notes for general spending.
