Therefore, on the 1st of January 1995, 10,000 zloty (PLZ) became one zloty (PLN). Since then, the Poland currency has been quite stable, with an exchange rate usually between 3 and 4 zÅ‚oty for a single United States dollar. The zloty is a traditional Poland currency unit, which is dating back to the late Middle Ages times. Initially, in early centuries, the name was used for all types of foreign coins used in Poland. One zloty at the very initial stages of their introduction used to cost 12–14 groszy. However, Grosz had less and less silver gradually as time passed by. The name zÅ‚oty for Poland currency was used for a number of different coins at that time, including the 30-groszy coin as well which was called the Polski zloty, the czerwony zÅ‚oty (red zloty in colour) and the zloty reÅ„ski (the Rhine guilder), which were widely in circulation at the time period. The zloty which is the official Poland currency remained widely in use after the Partitions of Poland and the Duchy of Warsaw issued coins in gross.
