Coins
A first series of mostly small aluminum coins entered circulation in November 1993. A second series consisting of larger denomination coins was issued in 2018.
First series (1993-present)
In November 1993 the National Bank of Moldova (NBM) issued its first coins of 1, 5, 25 and 50 bani and 1 and 5 lei.[1]
The 1 and 5 lei coins were withdrawn from circulation in 1994.[2]Due to their low quality and relatively high nominal value many forgeries appeared.
In April 1996 a 10 bani coin was introduced.[3]
In 1997 the NBM announced that it would replace the existing aluminum 50 bani coin with a new one made from brass-plated steel with a new and improved design featuring anti-counterfeit elements such as reeding. A first for modern Moldovan coins.
The new 50 bani coins were put into circulation on 2 February 1998. At the same time the NBM began withdrawing old aluminum 50 bani coins.[4]They were demonites on 1-1-1999
1 Ban coins remain legal tender but are rarely used or seen in circulation, effectively leading to "Swedish rounding".[5]

Second series (2018)
In 2017 the NBM announced plans to reintroduce 1 and 5 lei coins alongside new 2 and 10 lei coins citing "superior durability and cheaper manufacturing and maintenance cost over time compared to banknotes" as the main reason and asking people to submit their designs for the new coins.[8] The design of the new coins was unveiled on February 28th, 2018 featuring elements of both the coat of arms of the Principality of Moldavia on the obverse and the coat of arms of the Republic of Moldova on the reverse, with 1 and 2 lei coins being made from nickel-plated steel and 5 and 10 lei coins featuring a bi-metallic design with elements made from nickel-plated steel and brass-plated steel.[9] The new coins were put into circulation starting February 28th, 2018.[10] All of the new Lei coins are currently intended to be used alongside banknotes of equal value.
