Origin:

The Zloty is a name used for all kinds of foreign coins used in Poland since the middle ages. It was formally approved by the Polish Sejm Parliament as the national currency in 1496. Due to high inflation in the early 1990's, the currency was re-denominated. As of January 1st 1995 10000 old Zlotych (PLZ) was equal to one new Zloty (PLN).
