History
The Polish złoty — its name means "golden" in Polish — has a history as turbulent as Poland itself. First minted as a gold coin in the 15th century, it became the standard unit of account and was eventually fixed at 30 silver groschen. Poland's partition between Russia, Prussia and Austria at the end of the 18th century ended the currency's use until Polish independence was restored after World War I.
The Second Polish Republic introduced the złoty in 1924 to replace the Polish mark, which had been devastated by hyperinflation inherited from the German mark. Initially tied to gold, the złoty maintained relative stability through the late 1920s but collapsed in value during the Great Depression.
World War II brought Nazi occupation, which replaced the złoty with the occupation złoty at parity. After liberation, the communist government introduced a new złoty in 1950. Throughout the communist era, the złoty was a non-convertible internal currency with artificial exchange rates. Rampant inflation in the 1980s — peaking during the economic crisis of the late communist period — wiped out savings.
Poland's transition to a market economy after 1989 was accompanied by monetary shock therapy. Hyperinflation was tamed through tight monetary policy and a currency peg to the US dollar, then the German mark. A redenomination in 1995 replaced 10,000 old złoty with 1 new złoty. Today the National Bank of Poland manages a freely floating currency, and Poland remains one of the few EU members that has not adopted the euro.
