Forint

The Hungarian Forint is the official currency of Hungary.

The 42-year old businessman and economist successfully steered the country away from bankruptcy for a symbolic monthly salary of 1 forint, less than one U.S. cent.

The Hungarian forint is one of the most unstable currencies right now.

Better yet, there were no cover charges, and we didn’t bother to order drinks in half the spots. So, despite having a Slovak beer and shots of both the traditional Hungarian fruit spirit palinka and the bittersweet digestif Unicum, the entire evening cost 2,000 forints, under $10.
