    What coin gave the name to the currency of Romania?

    Question #96243. Asked by author. (Jun 01 08 1:31 PM)

    		The currency of Romania is the Leu.
    This is based on the daalder also known as the Dutch Guilder or Dutch Gulden, which bore a lion on it- Latin for lion is Leo, or Lei in plural form.
