The unit of Croatian currency is the Kuna
(HRK). Croatian banknotes come in denominations
of 1000 (rare) 500, 200, 100, 50, 20, 10 and 5. The kuna is divided
into 100 lipa. There are silvery coins of
1, 2 5 and 25 kunas plus coins of 50, 20 and 10, 2 and 1 lipa. Try to
avoid banknotes of 500 as they can be difficult to change.
The exchange rate of the
Croatian kuna is fixed and tied to the euro. Without getting into
the difference between a floating rate and a fixed rate, suffice it
to say that this system allows the government to increase the kuna's
value relative to the euro in the summer (so the exchange rate is
more unfavourable to tourists then) in order to gain foreign currency.
Hotels, excursions, private accommodation
and plane tickets are usually priced in euros and you can pay in either
euros or kuna. See more on exchanging
money in Croatia.
