About Poland banknotes

Poland introduced the złoty in 1924. During the German occupation the Generalgouvernement issued its own złoty notes. After the war, communist Poland used Bank PeKaO dollar vouchers in hard-currency shops such as Pewex. Inflation in the 1980s led to a redenomination in 1995 at 10,000 to one.
