This is the exchange rate (expressed as ...
Hungary originally planned to adopt the euro as its official currency in 2007 or 2008. [2] Later 1 January 2010 became the target date, [3] [4] but that date was abandoned because of an excessively high budget deficit, inflation, and public debt.
From 1996, a bimetallic 100 forint coin was minted to replace the 1992 version, which was considered too big and ugly and easily confused with the 20 forint coin. The 200 forint coin was made of .500 fine silver until 1994, when the price of the metal rose higher than the coin's face value. However, small issues for collectors were minted until ...
