Moldova’s currency is called Leu and it is abbreviated as MDL. The banknotes there are in the denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1,000 lei notes. One leu makes up 100 Bani. There are also coins which are denominated into 1, 5, 10, 25, and 50. You can easily exchange foreign money at banks or at the exchange offices such as Casa de schimb or birou de schimb valutar. Most of such exchange offices will only oblige to Euros, US dollars, British Pounds, Romanian Kei, Swiss Francs, Russian Rubles, Ukrainian Hryvnia, and Turkish Lira. You can also take benefit of the exchange services at the airport of Chisinau for getting a wider variety.<\/p>\n

An important point to remember is that the Moldovan economy is cash driven traditionally so you might not be able to pay in cash always, so keep US Dollars or Euros close to you, as they are the most accepted ones. This will become clearer when you aren’t in Chisinau. When you pay by card, make sure that you keep sight of it.<\/p>\n
