Croatian Kuna Users

Croatian Kuna is the currency of Croatia, which is a former Yugoslavia (officially named Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia state - SFRY). Yugoslavia historically existed from 1943 to 1992, and now it consists of six recognized states: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, and Slovenia, and one limited-recognized state, Kosovo. Three of them, Slovenia, Montenegro, and Kosovo, use the euro as their currencies, but only Slovenia officially adopted the euro strictly following ERM (The European Exchange Rate Mechanism) rules.

Croatia is expected to become a member state of the European Union (EU) on July 1st, 2013.

Croatian Kuna History

The word "kuna" means "marten" in Croatian, and highly valued marten skins used to be the value units during Roman times.

Croatian Kuna (HRK) was introduced on May 30th, 1994, replacing the transitional currency of Croatian dinar (HRD) at a rate of 1 HRK = 1000 HRD. Croatian dinar was introduced after Croatia's declaration of independence and replaced the 1990 version of the Yugoslav dinar at par.

Croatian Kuna Coins and Banknotes

Croatian Kuna is subdivided into 100 lipa. Coins and banknotes now in circulation were introduced in 1994. Frequently used coins are in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50 lipa and 1, 2, 5kn, and banknotes are in denominations of 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200kn.
