Hungary Currency And Mints

The official currency of Hungary is the Hungarian forint. The forint was first introduced in 1946. Although the Hungarian forint was originally divided into 100 filler, the filler coins are no longer in circulation. Post World War II, the establishment of the forint was a significant step in stabilizing the country’s economy. However, after two decades of hyperinflation, the Hungarian forint began to lose its purchasing power. Once the country shifted to a market economy, the forint began to stabilize. 

Owned by the Hungarian National Bank, the Hungarian Mint is a private company that is solely responsible for minting Hungarian coins. The Hungarian Mint also produced commemorative coins and manufacturers' medals. Dedicated to keeping Hungarian minting traditions alive, coins are struck with state-of-the-art technology. The mint is known and highly respected internationally, adding to its success.
