The Dutch leeuwendaalder (German Löwenthaler) was one of the most popular silver coins used in international trade for almost two centuries. It circulated in North America where it gave the name of the American Dollar, and in eastern Europe where it gave the name to the currencies of Romania and Moldova (leu), of Albania (lek), and of Bulgaria, (lev). "Leu", "lek" and "lev" also mean "lion" in their respective languages.
