Bon PeKaO
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bon PeKaO - substitute legal tender, used in the People's Republic of Poland. Polish communist government, desperate for hard foreign currency, used to mandate that the Polish citizens were to exchange foreign currency they had into the notes (bony) issued by the Bank Pekao. Those notes were accepted in special shops in Poland (Pewex, Baltona) where one could buy restricted, imported goods.
