Indonesian Rupiah
The rupiah (symbol: Rp; currency code: IDR) is the official currency and sole legal tender in Indonesia. It is issued and managed by Bank Indonesia, while its banknotes and coins are produced by the state-owned Perum Peruri. The name derives from the Sanskrit rupya, meaning "wrought silver". One rupiah is legally divided into 100 sen, although regular currency is issued only in whole-rupiah denominations. The republican government introduced Oeang Republik Indonesia (ORI) in October 1946 during the Indonesian National Revolution, when Japanese and Dutch-issued currencies were still circulating. Regional rupiahs were later used in the Riau Islands and West Irian, before being replaced by the national currency in 1964 and 1971. The government redenominated the rupiah in 1965 at a rate of 1,000 old rupiah to one new rupiah, and Bank Indonesia became the sole issuer of banknotes and coins in 1968. Indonesia used multiple exchange rates, fixed rates and managed depreciation before allowing the rupiah to float during the 1997 Asian financial crisis. The currency fell to about Rp16,800 per US dollar in June 1998 and later recovered, but has remained subject to periods of sharp depreciation under the floating system. Proposals to remove three zeroes from its denominations have not been implemented, while Bank Indonesia is separately developing a proposed digital rupiah through Project Garuda.
Poland złoty
The złoty (alternative spelling: zloty; Polish: polski złoty, pronounced [ˈzwɔtɨ] ; abbreviation: zł; code: PLN, English: golden) is the official currency and legal tender of Poland. It is subdivided into 100 groszy (gr). It is the most-traded currency in Central and Eastern Europe and ranks 20th most-traded in the foreign exchange market. The word złoty is a masculine form of the Polish adjective 'golden', which closely relates with its name to the guilder, whereas the grosz subunit is based on the groschen, cognate to the English word groat. It was officially introduced to replace its interim predecessor, the Polish marka, on 28 February 1919 and began circulation in 1924. The only bodies permitted to manufacture or mint złoty coins and banknotes are the Polish Security Printing Works, founded in Warsaw on 25 January 1919, and Mennica Polska, founded in Warsaw on 10 February 1766. As a result of inflation in the early 1990s, the currency underwent redenomination. Thus, on 1 January 1995, 10,000 old złoty (PLZ) became one new złoty (PLN). As a member of the European Union, Poland is obliged to adopt the euro when all specific conditions are met; however, there is no time limit for fulfilling all of them. (See Poland and the euro.) Currently, Poland is not in the European Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM II).
