Hungarian adópengő

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The adópengő (in English: tax pengő) was a unit of currency of Hungary between 1 January 1946 when it was introduced as part of a stabilisation attempt of the pengő and 31 July 1946 when both were replaced by the forint. In the beginning the adópengő was only an accounting unit used by the government and commercial banks, later bonds and saving certificates denominated in adópengő were also issued for the public which replaced pengő notes in circulation.
