1884: złoty and leu Feb 11, 2020

In the case of some currency names like 'dollars', 'shekels' or 'francs', the names are fairly abstract, but for many currencies this isn't the case. The Polish 'złoty' is also slightly odd insofar as it is an adjective meaning 'golden', not a noun, but the name is clearly reasonable. In Romania, the currency is 'leu', or literally 'lion'; these are however subdivided into 100 'bani', which translated directly as 'money'.
