<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bifter, post: 1090917, member: 28948&quot;]When I was in Croatia they had reverted to the Kuna, Wiki has some interesting factoids:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;The kuna is the currency of Croatia since 1994 (ISO 4217 code: HRK). It is subdivided into 100 lipa. The kuna is issued by the Croatian National Bank and the coins are minted by the Croatian Monetary Institute.</p><p><br /></p><p>The word &quot;kuna&quot; means &quot;marten&quot; in Croatian since it is based on the use of marten pelts as units of value in medieval trading. It has no relation to the various currencies named &quot;koruna&quot; (translated as kruna in Croatian). The word lipa means &quot;linden (lime) tree&quot;.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Oddly I don&#039;t seem to have any examples lying around though. During the holiday we hired a car and took a trip up to Slovenia, where they are now part of the Eurozone. We were able to pay the road tolls in kuna and the owner of the rowing boat we rented at Lake Bled accepted kuna at a very reasonable exchange rate![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
