What is the currency of Poland?

The currency of Poland is the Polish złoty.

The złoty is Poland's official currency and legal tender. Its ISO code is PLN, its symbol is zł, and it is divided into 100 groszy. The National Bank of Poland issues the currency, while coins and banknotes carry designs connected to Polish history and national identity.

The Polish word złoty means “golden,” reflecting the currency's historical association with gold. Poland introduced the modern złoty in 1995 after a major monetary reform. The reform removed four zeros from prices and replaced the former currency code PLZ with PLN; 10,000 old złotys became 1 new złoty.

Poland is a member of the European Union but does not currently use the euro. It has also not joined the exchange-rate mechanism required before adopting the euro. That makes the euro a tempting but incorrect answer, while the Hungarian forint and Czech koruna belong to neighbouring countries.
