About Canadian Dollar
The Canadian dollar is the currency of Canada. It is abbreviated with the dollar sign $. There is no standard disambiguating form, but the abbreviations Can$, CA$ and C$ are frequently used for distinction from other dollar-denominated currencies. It is divided into 100 cents.
Owing to the image of a common loon on its reverse, the dollar coin, and sometimes the unit of currency itself, may be referred to as the loonie by English-speaking Canadians and foreign exchange traders and analysts. Likewise, amongst French-speaking Canadians, the French word for loon, huard, is also commonly used.
Accounting for approximately two per cent of all global reserves, as of January 2024 the Canadian dollar is the fifth-most held reserve currency in the world, behind the US dollar, euro, yen, and sterling. The Canadian dollar is popular with central banks because of Canada's relative economic soundness, the Canadian government's strong sovereign position, and the stability of the country's legal and political systems. WikipediaAbout Bulgarian Lev
The lev is the currency of Bulgaria. In early modern Bulgarian, the word lev meant "lion"; the word "lion" in the modern standard language is lаv. The lev is subdivided into 100 stotinki. Stotinka in Bulgarian means "a hundredth" and is, in fact, a direct translation of the French term "centime". Grammatically, the word stotinka is derived from the Bulgarian word "sto".
Since 1997, the lev has operated under a currency board arrangement, initially pegged to the Deutsche Mark at a fixed rate of 1,000 BGL = 1 DEM. Following the introduction of the euro and the redenomination of the lev in 1999, the peg was effectively set at 1.95583 BGN = 1 EUR. Since 2020, the lev has been part of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism. In November 2023, Bulgarian euro coins design was approved by the Bulgarian National Bank. Wikipedia
