Polish złoty
The
złoty (pronounced ( listen); sign:
zł; code:
PLN), which literally means "
golden", is the currency of Poland. The modern złoty is subdivided into 100
groszy (singular:
grosz, alternative plural forms:
grosze;
groszy). The recognized English form of the word is zloty, plural zloty or zlotych. The currency sign zł, is composed of Polish small letters
z and
ł (Unicode: U+007A z latin small letter z & U+0142 ł latin small letter l with stroke). As a result of inflation in the early 1990s, the currency underwent redenomination. Thus, on January 1, 1995, 10,000 old złotych (PLZ) became one new złoty (PLN).
