The Polish złoty (alternative spelling: zloty;American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, 3rd ed., p. 2078. Polish: polski złoty, {{IPA|pl|ˈzwɔtɨ|lang|Pl-złoty.ogg}};The nominative plural, used for numbers ending in 2, 3 and 4 (except those in 12, 13 and 14), is {{lang|pl|złote}} {{IPA|pl|ˈzwɔtɛ|}}; the genitive plural, used for all other numbers, is {{lang|pl|złotych}} {{IPA|[ˈzwɔtɘx]}} abbreviation: zł; code: PLNPrior to 1995, code PLZ was used instead.) is the official currency and legal tender of Poland. It is subdivided into 100 grosz (gr).Singular: grosz, alternative plural forms: groszy, grosze. It is the most-traded currency in Central and Eastern Europe and ranks 21st most-traded in the foreign exchange market.{{cite web |title = Triennial Central Bank Survey Foreign exchange turnover in April 2022 |url = https://www.bis.org/statistics/rpfx22_fx.pdf |publisher = Bank for International Settlements |access-date = 13 February 2023 |page = 12 |date = 27 October 2022 |archive-date = 27 October 2022 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20221027140118/https://www.bis.org/statistics/rpfx22_fx.pdf |url-status = live }}{{Cite news|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-forex-poll-centraleurope-idUSKBN1Y90LI|title=Few gains for central Europe's currencies in the coming year: Reuters poll|newspaper=Reuters|date=5 December 2019|via=www.reuters.com|last1=Krufova|first1=Jason Hovet}}

The word złoty is a masculine form of the Polish adjective 'golden', which closely relates with its name to the guilder, whereas the grosz subunit is based on the groschen, cognate to the English word groat. It was officially introduced to replace its interim predecessor, the Polish marka, on 28 February 1919 and began circulation in 1924. The only bodies permitted to manufacture or mint złoty coins and banknotes are the Polska Wytwórnia Papierów Wartościowych (PWPW), founded in Warsaw on 25 January 1919, and Mennica Polska, founded in Warsaw on 10 February 1766.

As a result of inflation in the early 1990s, the currency underwent redenomination. Thus, on 1 January 1995, 10,000 old złoty (PLZ) became one new złoty (PLN). As a member of the European Union, Poland is obligated to adopt the euro when all specific conditions are met; however, there is no time limit for fulfilling all of them.

Currently, Poland is not in the European Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM II).

Name and plural forms

The term "{{lang|pl|złoty}}" is an adjective derived from the noun "{{lang|pl|złoto}}", which in the Polish language denotes gold. A literal translation of the currency's name would be "golden" or "the golden one". There are two plural forms – {{lang|pl|złote}} {{IPA|pl|ˈzwɔtɛ|}} as well as {{lang|pl|złotych}} {{IPA|pl|ˈzwɔtɨx|}}, and their correct usage is as follows:{{Cite web|url=https://www.prosteprzecinki.pl/czeste-bledy/zloty-zlote-czy-zlotych|title=Złoty, złote czy złotych?|website=www.prosteprzecinki.pl|access-date=26 September 2019}}

  • 1 – {{lang|pl|złoty}} or {{lang|pl|grosz}} {{IPA|[ˈzwɔtɨ]}} / {{IPA|[ˈɡrɔʂ]}}
  • 2...4; 22...24; 32...34 (...), 102...104, 122...124, 132...134, (...) – {{lang|pl|złote}} or {{lang|pl|grosze}} {{IPA|pl|ˈzwɔtɛ}} / {{IPA|pl|ˈɡrɔʂɛ}}
  • 0, 5...21; 25...31; 35...41 (...); 95...101; 105...121; 125...131; (...) – {{lang|pl|złotych}} or {{lang|pl|groszy}} {{IPA|pl|ˈzwɔtɨx}} / {{IPA|pl|ˈɡrɔʂɨ}}

Fractions should be rendered with {{lang|pl|złotego}} {{IPA|pl|zwɔˈtɛɡɔ|}} and {{lang|pl|grosza}} {{IPA|pl|ˈɡrɔʂa|}}, for example 0.1 {{lang|pl|złotego}}; 2.5 {{lang|pl|złotego}} and so on.

Native English speakers or English-language sources tend to avoid the complexity of plural forms and in turn use "złoty" for all denominations, for instance 2 złoty and 100 złoty instead of 2 złote and 100 złotych.{{Citation needed|date=April 2024}}

History

The first form of tangible currency in Poland was the denarius (denar), which began circulating in the 10th century.{{cite book |last=Krajewski |first=Mirosław |date=2000 |title=Historia gospodarcza Polski do 1989 roku |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=kWOaAAAAIAAJ&q=pierwsz%C4%85%20polsk%C4%85%20monet%C4%85%20denar%20grzywna |publisher=Wyższa Szkoła Humanistyczno-Ekonomiczna |page=39 |isbn=978-83-911136-0-8 |language=pl}} During this period, Polish coinage had a single face value and was minted from bullion (primarily silver, but also compounded with copper and other precious metals).{{cite book |author=Grzegorz Wójtowicz |author2=Anna Wójtowicz |date=2003 |title=Historia monetarna Polski |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ry6sAAAAIAAJ&q=denar%20%20jeden%20nomina%C5%82 |publisher=Twigger |page=39 |isbn=978-83-88904-29-5 |language=pl}} The standard unit of mass used at the time was the grzywna rather than the pound, with one grzywna being equivalent to 240 denars.{{Harvnb|Krajewski|2000|p=39}} From the 1300s to the mid-16th century, the Prague groschen (or groat) dominated the market and its high supply reduced the demand for a national currency across Central Europe.{{cite book |author=Adam Dylewski |author2=Katarzyna Kucharczuk |date=2012 |title=Od denara do złotego.

Initially, the term "złoty" ({{lit|the golden one}}) was used in the 14th and 15th centuries for a number of foreign gold coins, most notably Venetian ducats, florins and guldens. In 1496, the Sejm parliament debated on the creation of a domestic currency and approved the złoty, which until then acted as a unit of account.{{cite web |url=https://www.cpnbp.pl/__data/assets/pdf_file/0020/215552/bankoteka_dzieje_zlotego.pdf |title=History of the Złoty |author=Centrum Pieniądza |date=2018 |publisher=Narodowy Bank Polski (NBP) |access-date=30 October 2021}} An exchange rate of 30 grosz was imposed for one gold piece, which remained the traditional subdivision until the 19th century.{{cite web |url=https://www.cpnbp.pl/__data/assets/pdf_file/0020/215552/bankoteka_dzieje_zlotego.pdf |title=History of the Złoty |author=Centrum Pieniądza |date=2018 |publisher=Narodowy Bank Polski (NBP) |access-date=30 October 2021}} In the years 1526–1535, as part of an extensive monetary reform proposed by Nicolaus Copernicus and Justus Decius, King Sigismund I defined the złoty as a legal tender in the minting ordinance on 16 February 1528.{{cite book |last=Dylewski |first=Adam |date=2011 |title=Historia pieniądza na ziemiach polskich |location=Warszawa (Warsaw) |publisher=CARTA BLANCA Sp. z o.o.

The Polish monetary system remained complex and intricate from the 16th to 18th centuries until a monetary reform enacted by Stanisław II Augustus which removed all other monetary units except the złoty, which was divided into 30 groszy. Polish currency was then linked to that of the Holy Roman Empire by setting the Conventionsthaler = 8 złoty = 23.3856 g fine silver and the North German thaler = 6 złoty = 17.5392 g silver (hence 2.9232 g silver in a złoty).

Radical changes to the currency were made during the Kościuszko Uprising. The second partition of the vast Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth resulted in the loss of approximately 200,000 square kilometres of land and precipitated an economic collapse. The widespread shortage of funds to finance the defense of remaining territories forced the insurrectionist government to look for alternatives. In June 1794, Tadeusz Kościuszko began printing paper money and issuing first Polish banknotes as a substitute for coinage, which could not be minted in required quantities.{{cite web |url=https://www.cpnbp.pl/__data/assets/pdf_file/0020/215552/bankoteka_dzieje_zlotego.pdf |title=History of the Złoty |author=Centrum Pieniądza |date=2018 |publisher=Narodowy Bank Polski (NBP) |access-date=30 October 2021}} These entered circulation on 13 August 1794.

The złoty remained in circulation after the Partitions of Poland and Napoleon's Duchy of Warsaw issued coins denominated in grosz, złoty and talars, with the talar (thaler) of 6 złoty slightly reduced in value to the Prussian thaler of 16.704 g fine silver (hence 2.784 g silver in a złoty).{{cite book |last=Nadolski |first=Artur |date=2008 |title=Pani Chłodna |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=G0OCrG1cpooC |location=Warszawa (Warsaw) |publisher=Bellona |page=91 |isbn=978-83-11-11258-2}} Talar banknotes were also issued. In 1813, while Zamość was under siege, the town authorities issued 6 grosz and 2 złoty coins. Following the 1815 Congress of Vienna, Austrian and Russian sectors of partitioned Poland continued to use the złoty for some time, while the German sector replaced the talar and złoty with the Prussian thaler and later, the German gold mark.

On 19 November O.S. (1 December N.S.) 1815, the law regarding the monetary system of Congress Poland (in Russia) was passed, which pegged the złoty at 15 kopecks (0.15 Imperial roubles, or almost 2.7 g fine silver) and the groszy at {{frac|1|2}} kopeck, and with silver 1, 2, 5 and 10 złotych coins issued from 1816 to 1855.

At the time of the 1830 November Uprising, the insurrectionists issued their own "rebel money" – golden ducats and silver coins in the denomination of 2 and 5 złoty, with the revolutionary coat of arms, and the copper 3 and 10 grosz.{{cite book |author=Jan Głuchowski |date=2001 |title=Leksykon finansów |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=AJLwAAAAMAAJ&q=z%C5%82ot%C3%B3wki%20powstanie%20listopadowe%202%205%20z%C5%82otych |location=Warszawa (Warsaw) |publisher=Polskie Wydawn. Ekonomiczne |page=172 |isbn=978-83-208-1336-4}} These coins continued to be traded long after the uprising was quelled. As a consequence of the uprising, the rubel became the sole legal tender of Congress Poland from 1842, although coins marked as złoty in parallel with ruble were minted in Warsaw until 1865 and remained legal until 1890. In 1892, the Austro-Hungarian krone was introduced in Austrian Galicia. Between 1835 and 1846, the Free City of Kraków also used its own independent currency, the Kraków złoty (minted in Vienna), which remained legal until 1857.

During World War I, the rouble and krone were replaced by the Polish marka, a currency initially equivalent to the German mark. The marka remained in use after Poland regained its independence in 1918, but was extremely unstable, disrupted the whole economy, and triggered galloping inflation.

The złoty was reintroduced by the Minister of Finance, Władysław Grabski, in April 1924.{{cite book |author=Jerzy Lukowski |author2=Hubert Zawadzki |date=2019 |title=A Concise History of Poland |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=5uaADwAAQBAJ |location=Cambridge |publisher=University Press |page=304 |isbn=978-1-108-42436-3}} It replaced the marka at a rate of 1 złoty to 1,800,000 marks and was subdivided into 100 grosz rather than the traditional 30 grosz.{{cite book |author=J.

Following its inauguration, the second złoty was pegged to the United States dollar through a stabilization loan provided by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.{{Cite book|last=Steiner|first=Zara|title=The lights that failed: European international history, 1919-1933|date=2005|publisher=Oxford University Press|isbn=978-0-19-151881-2|location=Oxford|oclc=86068902}} The budget deficit ballooned and out-of-control inflation ensued.

Up until 1933, the złoty was freely exchanged into gold and foreign currency. Based on these developments, the Polish government made the decision to adopt the gold standard and maintain it for a significant period to attract global investors.{{cite book |last=Venken |first=Machteld |date=2021 |title=Peripheries at the Centre |location=New York |publisher=Berghahn Books |page=123 |isbn=978-1-78920-967-9}}

In 1950, the third złoty ({{ISO 4217|PLZ}}) was introduced, replacing all notes issued up to 1948 at a rate of one hundred to one, while all bank assets were re-denominated in the ratio 100:3. The new banknotes were dated 1948, while the new coins were dated 1949. Initially, by law with effect from 1950, 1 złoty was worth 0.222168 grams of pure gold.http://dziennikustaw.gov.pl/du/1950/s/50/459/D1950050045901.pdf Dziennik Ustaw 50, 459 The banknotes were issued in denominations ranging from 10 zlotych to 5 million zlotych.{{Cite web |date=15 August 2018 |title=The history of the Polish zloty began almost 500 years ago {{!}} Obserwator Finansowy: Ekonomia {{!}} Gospodarka {{!}} Polska {{!}} Świat |url=https://www.obserwatorfinansowy.pl/in-english/the-history-of-the-polish-zloty-began-almost-500-years-ago/ |access-date=15 February 2024 |website=Obserwator Finansowy: ekonomia, debata, Polska, świat |language=en-EN}}

One of the conditions of Poland joining the European Union in May 2004 obliges the country to eventually adopt the euro, though not at any specific date and only after Poland meets the necessary stability criteria; serious discussions regarding joining the Eurozone have ensued.{{cite news | url=https://www.forbes.com/afxnewslimited/feeds/afx/2008/09/18/afx5440142.html | title=Poland may hold euro referendum in 2010-Deputy PM | work=Forbes | access-date=19 September 2008 | date=18 September 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100308143938/http://www.forbes.com/feeds/afx/2008/09/18/afx5440142.html |archive-date=8 March 2010 }}{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/business/feedarticle/7799421 |archive-url=http://arquivo.pt/wayback/20160518204909/http://www.theguardian.com/business/feedarticle/7799421 |archive-date=18 May 2016 |title=Poland may push back euro rollout to 2012 |work=The Guardian |access-date=19 September 2008 |location=London }}{{cite web | url=http://www.bizpoland.pl/news/index.php?contentid=172545 | title=Poland may push back euro rollout to 2012 | publisher=BizPoland | access-date=19 September 2008 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120220054516/http://www.bizpoland.pl/news/index.php?contentid=172545 | archive-date=20 February 2012}} An amendment to Article 227{{cite web | url=http://www.sejm.gov.pl/prawo/konst/angielski/kon1.htm | title=Constitution of the Republic of Poland of 2nd April 1997, as published in Dziennik Ustaw (Journal of Laws) No. 78, item 483 | publisher=Parliament of the Republic of Poland | access-date=25 September 2009}} of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, which cedes the exclusive right to issue money to the Bank of Poland, will be required.{{cite web | url=http://www.fxstreet.com/news/forex-news/article.aspx?StoryId=c5dfd795-8560-498d-99ec-cc0066d38786 | title=Polish charter must change before ERM-2 | publisher=fxstreet.com | access-date=25 September 2008 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090423175852/http://www.fxstreet.com/news/forex-news/article.aspx?StoryId=c5dfd795-8560-498d-99ec-cc0066d38786 | archive-date=23 April 2009}} While opinions of the euro have not always been favorable, 2022 opinion polling on behalf of the European Commission found 60% of respondents support adopting the euro.{{Cite web |title=Eurobarometer |url=https://europa.eu/eurobarometer/surveys/detail/2662 |access-date=21 October 2022 |website=europa.eu}}

Banknotes

File:Money-finance-bills-bank-notes (23700097623).jpg

The banknotes range from 120 to 150 millimetres in length and from 60 to 75 millimetres in width. The length increases by 6mm and the width by 3mm with every higher denomination. The obverse features the left profile of a Polish monarch clothed in armour or royal regalia; the sovereigns are arranged chronologically based on the period of reign. The reverse illustrates important landmarks, early coinage or important objects from Poland's history. Architectural elements comprising portals, columns, windows or flower motifs are scattered throughout each banknote, both on the obverse and on the reverse. Predominant colours used include shades of brown, pink or purple, blue, green, and gold. Face value is given in numerals in the upper-left and upper-right corners on the obverse, and in the upper-right corner on the reverse. The written form of the nominal value is embedded vertically on the obverse and horizontally on the reverse.{{r|nbp}}

The notes are adorned by the eagle charge from the Polish coat of arms, along with signatures of the President and General Treasurer of NBP – the National Bank of Poland.{{r|nbp}}
