The Bulgarian Lev (BGN) is the official currency of Bulgaria, issued by the Bulgarian National Bank.
The modern series features clean, sophisticated designs celebrating the country’s cultural heritage, scientific achievements, and influential historical figures.
Each denomination incorporates advanced security features, refined colour palettes, and detailed engravings that reflect Bulgaria’s commitment to secure and modern banknote production.
The current BGN series is the primary legal tender used throughout Bulgaria and remains widely recognised across the region.
Exchanging your BGN notes is simple and secure.
Just enter the amount you wish to exchange into your wallet and proceed with the exchange, and everything will be handled quickly and efficiently.
Before the introduction of the modern BGN series, Bulgaria issued several earlier generations of Lev banknotes, including designs from the pre‑1999 redenomination era.
These older notes often feature different portraits, earlier security elements, and layouts that have since been replaced.
Although no longer used in everyday transactions, many of these withdrawn Lev notes still retain redeemable value.
At Thecurrencycounter.co.uk, we accept a wide range of outdated and withdrawn Bulgarian Lev notes — from early post‑communist issues to pre‑redenomination designs.
