PLN/AUD: what to know
The PLN/AUD rate shows how much AUD you get for 1 PLN. Right now, 1 PLN buys 0.3735 AUD at the mid-market rate. In the other direction, 1 AUD is worth 2.6772 PLN.
In the short term PLN is driven mainly by NBP policy, EU flows and regional sentiment, while AUD responds to commodity prices and Chinese demand.
The Polish Zloty (PLN) is issued by National Bank of Poland (NBP). “Złoty” literally means “golden”, a name dating back to medieval gold coins. The Australian Dollar (AUD) is issued by Reserve Bank of Australia. Australia pioneered polymer banknotes in 1988 — more durable and harder to counterfeit.
Over the past 12 months the PLN/AUD rate has ranged between 0.3724 and 0.4239 — a change of -11.10% versus a year ago.
For anyone in Poland, this is the mid-market reference to compare against your bank or kantor before exchanging. Use this mid-market figure as your benchmark: compare it with the rate your bank or broker quotes, and the difference is the margin you would pay.
