In 2021 National Bank of Romania has officially presented the new 20-lei banknote, which has been put into circulation starting from 1 December 2021. It is the first banknote with legal tender to feature a female personality.[1]

It is printed using the offset printing technique (like the one leu and five lei banknotes). The official reason was the prevention of counterfeiting.[2]
