The primary currency used in Hungary is the Hungarian forint (HUF). The forint has been the official currency since 1946 and is subdivided into 100 fillér, although the fillér is no longer commonly used. In recent years, the forint's value has fluctuated in response to economic conditions, inflation, and regional stability. Used in everyday transactions, the forint is integral to Hungary's economy, which has aspects of both a growing market and a robust tourist industry. Visitors to Hungary can exchange foreign currencies for forints to facilitate local purchases and experiences in this vibrant nation.
