Banknotes of Poland

The official currency of Poland is the złoty, issued by the National Bank of Poland (Narodowy Bank Polski). Paper money was first introduced in Poland in the 18th century with the establishment of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. A significant event in its currency history occurred in 1995 when a redenomination took place, removing four zeros from the previous currency. Collectors find Poland’s banknotes appealing due to their intricate designs and historical themes. The 1986 series, for instance, features prominent Polish artists and cultural figures, showcasing detailed engravings and vibrant colors. Additionally, the inclusion of advanced security features, such as watermarks and security threads, enhances both the aesthetic and collectible value of these banknotes.
