It can be difficult to exchange leftover Romanian leu coins. Banks and foreign exchange companies don't generally accept coins because they're expensive to process and transport, so your options for exchanging any leftover shrapnel back into pounds can be limited:
Over the past 30 days, the Romanian leu buyback rate has risen 0.12% from 6.1756 on 25 Oct to 6.183 today. This means Romanian lei can be exchanged for more pounds today compared to a month ago. Right now, L1000 is worth approximately £161.73 which is £0.19 more than you'd have got on 25 Oct.
These are the average Romanian leu buyback rates taken from our panel of UK travel money providers at the end of each day. You can explore this further on our Romanian leu to British pound currency chart.
No, you'll get more for your Romanian lei if you sell when the Romanian leu buyback rate is low. This is due to a quirk of how British currency providers display their buyback exchange rates.
When you buy Romanian lei, the exchange rate you get is the amount of Romanian lei you'll receive for every pound that you spend, so for example a rate of 6.1756 means you'd get L6.1756 for each £1 that you spend. You can calculate the total amount of Romanian lei you'd receive for a given amount of sterling by simply multiplying the sterling amount by the exchange rate.
When it comes to selling Romanian lei, the buyback rate is expressed in terms of how many Romanian lei you'd need to sell in order to get £1, so a buyback rate of 6.1756 means you'd need to sell L6.1756 to get £1. To calculate the sterling value of a given amount of Romanian lei, you need to divide the Romanian leu amount by the buyback rate. Since you're dividing by the buyback rate, a lower buyback rate means you'd get more sterling compared to a higher buyback rate.
One Romanian leu (L) can be subdivded into 100 bani. There are six denominations of Romanian leu banknotes in frequent circulation: L1, L5, L10, L50, L100 and L200; and two frequently-used coins: 10 bani and 50 bani.
The current series of Romanian leu banknotes, known as the 'New Leu' series, was introduced by the National Bank of Romania in 2005. Each banknote in the New Leu series features notable figures from Romanian history and important Romanian landmarks. For example, the L1 banknote features a portrait of Nicolae Iorga; a prominent Romanian historian, on the front, while the reverse showcases the Neamț Citadel; a medieval fortress in Romania. The L10 banknote displays Ion Luca Caragiale; a prominent Romanian playwright, on the front, and the reverse features the Romanian National Theater in Bucharest, while the L100 banknote showcases a portrait of Romania's national poet; Mihai Eminescu alongside the Statue of Liberty in Craiova.
