Romanian earlier currency was ROL Lue, which was different from the currency available nowadays, and then the government decided to form an independent currency so changed previous one into RON Leu, which means lion. According to statistics I RON is equal to 10,000 ROL. National bank of Romania is the main source of the official currency.
