Hungary uses the Hungarian forint, written as HUF. The forint has been in use since 1946, making it one of Europe’s older currencies. Banknotes feature famous Hungarian leaders, cultural icons, and historical sites. Cash is still widely used, especially in smaller towns, while cards are accepted in major cities like Budapest. The forint’s value fluctuates with the economy, but it remains central to daily life. ATMs and currency exchange offices are easy to find. The forint is a proud symbol of Hungary’s history and financial independence.
