Calendar of taking out the IN currencies from the NBR list of exchange rates
29.01.2002
The National Bank of Romania publishes the exchange rates of the ROL against both EUR and the IN currencies.
Once the EUR banknotes and coins are put into circulation, the process reaches a new stage, i.e. the retirement of the IN currencies.
Consequently, the NBR will update the list of exchange rates by gradually taking out each IN currency the day following its being called in. The last day of publishing the exchange rates of IN currencies is set out in the following table:
| Currency |
Date from which the currency is no longer legal tender |
Last date of publishing the exchange rate of the ROL against the respective currency |
