Welcome to the Economics class! I am Prof. Mirela PENU.

Do you know what the economy is? What about savings? What can
you save?
What is the currency of the country you come from? Is it the dollar?
the franc? the shilling? In Romania, we use the Leu (1 leu or 1 RON = 100
money).
It is very important to have money but also to save it! Together, we
will do some exercises using the words above.
In short, Economics is a science that studies the way we produce and
use different goods.
- Money is earned through work: Each country has its own currency: So, in
Romania, the currency is called LEU or RON :- One LEU has 100 coins _=
bani:
In Romania there are the following banknotes and subdivisions of the national
currency
1 ban - 2 bani - 10 bani - 20 bani - 50 bani ...
1 lei - 5 lei - 10 lei - 20 lei - 100 lei - 200 lei - 500 lei - see photos
- With LEI you can buy objects and services
- You can pay either with cash or with a bank card
