Hungarian Forints

The current Hungarian forint notes were first  issued by the Hungarian National Bank in 2004. They have advanced security features, most prominently a hologram strip on the obverse side. We change these modern forint notes free of charge. We also give cash for Hungarian forint coins,  withdrawn forint banknotes and demonetized forint banknotes.

These older series Hungarian Forint banknotes no longer have any monetary face value. However it is still possible to exchange them via our online service for their collectable value. In addition to these demonetized Hungarian Forint banknotes, we also exchange current Hungarian Forint banknotes, withdrawn Hungarian Forint banknotes and Hungarian Forint coins.

The current set of Hungarian Forint coins was introduced by the Budapest-based Hungarint Mint Ltd in 1993. Coins from 5 to 200 Forints are legal tender in Hungary. The 1 and 2 Forint coins were recalled in 1998. Two versions of Forint coins are in circulation: Forint coins produced before 2012 have the text MAGYAR KÖZTÁRSASÁG (Republic of Hungary), while on coins issued from 2012 the text reads MAGYARORSZÁG (Hungary). Both versions are accepted. We exchange all circulating Hungarian Forint coins. We also give cash for withdrawn and current Hungarian Forint banknotes as well as demonetized older series forint banknotes.

In 2007, the Budapest-based Hungarian National Bank replaced older style Forint banknotes by new Forints with more advanced security features. The discontinued Hungarian Forint notes lack a hologram strip . These withdrawn Hungarian Forint bills are no longer a valid means of payment in Hungary. We exchange all withdrawn Hungarian Forint banknotes free of charge. We also give cash for current Hungarian Forint banknotes, older series demonetized forint banknotes and forint coins.
