The new currency, the Forint, succeeding the Pengő, was issued in 1946. The production of the Forint banknotes was carried on by unchanged technology till 1996. As a result of a complete technology reconstruction in 1997, the printing of a quite new, state-of-the-art Forint banknote series became possible.
