Hungarian forint

The Hungarian forint (HUF) is the official currency of Hungary, used to buy and sell goods and services within the country. It is divided into 100 smaller units called fillér, although fillér coins are rarely used today. The forint has been Hungary’s currency since 1946, replacing previous currencies after periods of economic change. Its value fluctuates based on factors like economic stability, interest rates, and global markets. The forint is represented by the symbol "Ft" or "HUF" in financial contexts. As a member of the European Union, Hungary has plans to eventually adopt the euro, but the forint remains the current legal tender.
