Polish złoty

The Polish złoty (PLN) is the official currency of Poland. Its name means "golden" in Polish, reflecting historical ties to gold standard practices. The złoty is subdivided into 100 smaller units called groszy. It is a stable and widely used currency within Poland, managed by the National Bank of Poland. The złoty has been in use since before World War II, with periods of reform and reissuance. It is primarily used for everyday transactions, such as shopping and banking, and its value fluctuates based on economic factors like inflation, interest rates, and international trade.
