New HUF 2,000, 5,000 Notes In Circulation
The central bank issued new 2,000 forint and 5,000 forint banknotes on March 1, and the rollout will take place over the next few months. From August 1 it will be possible to pay only with the new notes.

The old notes first issued before 2016 will be in circulation until July 31 before the National Bank of Hungary starts withdrawing them. Post offices will accept the old notes in exchange for new ones.
