When dealing with the local currency in Romania, it’s important to acquaint yourself with the Romanian Leu (RON), with the plural form being Lei (pronounced lay). The smaller denominations are called “bani” (pronounced bahnee), and 1 leu is equivalent to 100 bani. It’s helpful to note that exchange rates fluctuate, so checking the National Bank’s website at www.cursbnr.ro for the most up-to-date rates is advisable. Romania has an extensive network of ATMs, providing convenient access to cash.
