The Romanian bank will add a new banknote with the face of Ecaterina Teodoroiu.

1. She was a scout who took charge of her pluton during the last days of the battle of Marasesti.She was killed during the final counter charge,but her courage inspired her men to punch through the german lines and force them to retreat.This act halted the advance into Romania and solidified the front lines on the southeastern front untill the treaty of Bucharest was signed.

2. I see lots of people disliking it. But I actually like it a lot. The details are also amazing, the scout badge with the eagle, the Mărășești Mausoleum, the bomb thingy which was used for the Adrian Helmet (If i see it correctly), the flowers, fleur de lys, etc.

4. Are LEIs still made of that unbreakable plastic material ?

5. I went to Romania a couple of years back and personally found It weird that you guys have a 10 and a 50 lei , but not a 20 lei . My life is strangely complete now .

6. Ok… I see a lot of bad comments. Who’s she?

   Edit: She fought the germans… So ww1?

   Edit2: So after reading a short resume about her… So shes like the Joan d’Arc for Romania? Why are some people saying she did war crimes?

7. Haven’t used cash in years, but this looks awesome.

8. this will be the new 10 lei banknote
