The Hungarian Forint (HUF) is the official currency of Hungary. It was introduced in 1946, replacing the pengő, and is subdivided into 100 fillér, although fillér coins are no longer in circulation. The forint is symbolized by "Ft" and is used for everyday transactions in the country. The Hungarian National Bank is responsible for issuing and regulating the forint. The currency's value can fluctuate based on economic conditions, and it is often exchanged for other currencies like the Euro or US Dollar. The forint plays a crucial role in Hungary's economy and international trade.
