The chart shows the value of 1 HUF in USD. It uses the available recorded observations, which may cover only part of a selected period. The historical timeline below is separate from the rate archive.
Look up a historical rate →Rate in context
Statistics use available daily observations, not intraday highs or lows. The mean gives each recorded day equal weight. Missing days are not filled. This is historical context, not a forecast.
What does this rate mean for your amount?
Compare the same amount at the current reference quote and a historical observation. Fees and inflation are excluded. If there is no observation on the selected date, we use the preceding one, at most 4 days earlier, and show its date.

Do not assume that a note saved from an earlier trip remains valid. Compare its issue with the issuer’s guide before spending it.
Source: Magyar Nemzeti Bank · banknotes and coins (PDF)Practical questions
Does HUF mean euro?
No. It identifies the Hungarian forint. Keep HUF and EUR prices separate until you convert them.
Why are all the notes a similar size?
The current series uses one set of dimensions across denominations. Read the printed value and inspect the design.
Source: Magyar Nemzeti Bank · banknotes and coins (PDF)Can I divide a group budget by the number of people?
Yes, for an equal split. Enter the total group costs once; the travel planner shows the per-person share.
