==Coins== Although some of the [[coins]] were minted as early as 1990, they were not released until January 1, 1995, when the [[Polish złoty|złoty]] was redenominated after hyperinflation was harnessed. There are 100 grosz (gr) to one złoty (zł). {|class="wikitable" style="font-size: 90%" |- ! colspan="8" |1990 Series <ref>[http://www.nbp.pl/Homen.aspx?f=en/banknoty/monety.htm National Bank of Poland - Internet Information Service]</ref> |- ! rowspan="2" | Value !!colspan="3"| Technical parameters !!colspan="3"| Description !!rowspan="2"| Date of first minting |- !
