Bulgarian Lev to Iranian Rial

The Bulgarian lev (international symbol: BNG, code: 975) is the national currency of Bulgaria. The lev is divided into 100 stotinki. Since 2002 the lev has been pegged to the euro at an exchange rate of 1.

95 lev for 1 euro. Bulgaria has not become part of the Eurozone so far and a complete transition to the European single currency has not yet taken place. The image of a lion on Bulgarian currency appeared in the 13th century. The first currency, called the “lion,” emerged in Bulgaria in 1879 and was in circulation in the country until 1952. The contemporary version appeared in 1999 after redenomination at a rate of 1000: 1.

The Iranian rial (sign ﷼, code IRR) is a currency used first in Persia, and currently, after the state name change, in Iran. Dinars are used as change for the Iranian rial. Every IRR equals 100 dinars.

However, due to inflation, dinars are practically not used in cash payment. The currency has been issued twice. First time was in 1798, and in their present form – in 1932. The front side of all notes have a portrait of a religious figure – Imam Khomeini, the leader of the Islamic revolution that took place in 1979, in Iran.
