Sweden Coins


           The krona (plural: kronor; sign: kr; code: SEK) has been the currency of Sweden since 1873. Both the ISO code "SEK" and currency sign "kr" are in common use; the former precedes or follows the value, the latter usually follows it, but especially in the past, it sometimes preceded the value. In English, the currency is sometimes referred to as the Swedish crown, since krona literally meanscrown in Swedish. The Swedish krona was the 11th most traded currency in the world by value in April 2013.



          One krona is subdivided into 100 öre (singular and plural; when referring to the currency unit itself, however, the plural definite form isören). However, all öre coins have been discontinued as of 30 September 2010. Goods can still be priced in öre, but all sums arerounded to the nearest krona when paying with cash.


























Lithunia Coins


          The Lithuanian litas (ISO currency code LTL, symbolized as Lt; plural litai (nominative) or litų (genitive)) is the currency of Lithuania. It is divided into 100 centų (genitive case; singular centas, nominative plural centai). The litas was first introduced on 2 October 1922 afterWorld War I, when Lithuania declared independence and was reintroduced on 25 June 1993, following a period of currency exchange from the ruble to the litas with the temporary talonas then in place. The name was modeled after the name of the country (similar toLatvia and its lats). From 1994 to 2002, the litas was pegged to the U.S. dollar at the rate of 4 to 1. The litas has been pegged to theeuro at the rate of 3.4528 to 1 since 2002. The euro was expected to replace the litas by January 1, 2007, but persistent high inflation and the economic crisis have delayed Lithuania's euro adoption. 1 January 2015 is the government's current anticipated switch over date.






Bohemia & Moravia Coins.


      The Bohemian-Moravian koruna, known as the Protectorate crown (in Czech: Protektorátní koruna), was the currency of theProtectorate of Bohemia and Moravia between 1939 and 1945. It was subdivided into 100 haléřů.






San Marino Coins.

          The lira (plural lire) was the currency of San Marino from the 1860s until the introduction of the euro in 2002. It was equivalent to theItalian lira. Italian coins and banknotes and Vatican City coins were legal tender in San Marino, whilst Sammarinese coins, minted inRome, were legal tender throughout Italy, as well as in the Vatican City.









Bulgaria Coins


          The lev (Bulgarian: лев, plural: лева, левове / leva, levove) is the currency of Bulgaria. It is divided in 100 stotinki (стотинки, singular: stotinka, стотинка). In archaic Bulgarian the word "lev" meant "lion", a word which in the modern language became lăv (IPA:/lɤv/) (in Bulgarian: лъв).
