Are you going to visit Budapest or any other Hungarian city? Here you’ll find some information about their currency to familiarize yourself with it before your trip. The Hungarian Forint is the official currency of Hungary. Its ISO 4217 code is HUF and its symbol is Ft. One Florin is divided into 100 filleres<\/em>, although currently the smallest coin is 5 forint.<\/h4>\n

\"Mathias<\/p>\n

History<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Florin as we know today was introduced in Hungary in 1946 to stabilize the Hungarian economy and to curb inflation. Hungary joined the European Union in 2004 and is expected in the not too near future leave the Forint to join the common currency.<\/p>\n

Notes and coins<\/strong><\/p>\n

Forint banknotes<\/strong> are 500<\/strong>, 1000<\/strong>, 2000<\/strong>, 5000<\/strong>, 10000<\/strong> and 20000<\/strong>. On the front of the banknotes appear different historical characters from Hungarian royalty and nobility. On the back appear landmarks of the country: the Castle of Sárospatak, the Hercules Fountain (Budapest), the Széchenyi's mansion at Nagycenk, the Castle of Esztergom and the old House of Commons.<\/p>\n

Forint coins<\/strong> are 5<\/strong>, 10<\/strong>, 20<\/strong>, 50<\/strong>, 100<\/strong> and 200<\/strong> Forint. On the coins appears the coat of arms of Hungary and various representatives of the flora and fauna of the country.<\/p>\n

On the website of the Hungarian National Bank you can see the Forint banknotes and coins: Magyar Nemzeti Bank<\/a><\/p>\n

Hungarian Forint rates (HUF)<\/strong><\/p>\n

On our website you can check the rate of the Hungarian Forint<\/a><\/strong> daily updated. You will be able to make a reservation<\/a><\/strong> of the amount that you need and pick them up at your nearest branch (if we have stock of this currency) or you could buy online<\/a><\/strong> the Hungarian Forints that you need and you will receive them at home. So you will be sure to have the total amount available for your trip<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Moreover, when you come back from Hungary, you will be able to exchange the leftover Forints back into Euros<\/strong> in any of our branches (remember that we can’t accept coins, just notes).<\/p>\n

Have a nice trip!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
