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 Russian Ruble (RUB) is issued by Bank of Russia. The ruble is one of Europe’s oldest currencies, used since the 13th century.
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.
