Moldova's 2021 coinage program reflected the country's ongoing effort to modernize its circulating series, though the 10 Lei denomination had already been established in bimetallic form years earlier. The National Bank of Moldova operates under persistent pressure from a small domestic economy heavily dependent on remittances — by some estimates exceeding 15% of GDP — which shapes both the practical demand for higher-denomination coins and the metal specifications chosen to hold production costs down.
