| Comments |
Romania's polymer 200 Lei was introduced in 2012 as part of the National Bank's transition away from cotton-paper issues — a shift completed more quickly than most regional central banks of comparable size. The denomination sits at the upper end of everyday circulation, making it one of the more frequently counterfeited in the series, which accounts for the unusually dense layering of security elements relative to lower values.
The P#122i suffix denotes a later signature variety within the ongoing series, not a redesign. Polymer substrate notes of this type are produced by Note Printing Australia, whose polymer technology underpins a significant portion of Eastern European security currency issued since the 2000s.
