An instructive precedent is Slovakia, whose “velvet” divorce from the Czech Republic at the beginning of 1993 led to the creation of a new national currency. The Slovak koruna was initially kept within pre-defined fluctuation bands around target parities with the Deutsche Mark and the US dollar, before moving to a fully floating exchange rate in 1998.
一个颇具说明性的先例是斯洛伐克，1993年伊始，它通过“天鹅绒革命”脱离捷克独立，并决定使用新的国家货币。一开始，斯洛伐克克朗在事先确定的范围中围绕对德国马克和美元的目标平价波动，直到1998年才变为完全浮动汇率。
