Converting from Bangladesh Taka (BDT) to Croatian Kuna (HRK)

What is Bangladesh Taka (BDT)

The Bangladesh Taka (BDT) is the official currency of Bangladesh, a country located in South Asia. It was introduced in 1972, replacing the Pakistani Rupee that was used prior to the country’s independence in 1971. The name "Taka" is derived from the Sanskrit word "tanka," which means silver coin.

The Taka is subdivided into 100 poisha. Coins come in various denominations of 1, 2, 5, and 10 Taka, while notes are available in larger denominations, typically ranging from 10 Taka to 1,000 Taka. The currency symbol for Taka is "৳" and in international contexts, it is often abbreviated as BDT.

The Bangladesh Bank is responsible for issuing the currency and managing monetary policy in the country. As one of the most densely populated countries in the world, Bangladesh’s economy is primarily based on agriculture, textiles, and remittances from Bangladeshis living abroad. The exchange rate of the Taka against other currencies can fluctuate due to various factors, including inflation rates, trade balances, and foreign investments.

What is Croatian Kuna (HRK)

The Croatian Kuna (HRK) is the official currency of Croatia, a country located in Southeast Europe along the Adriatic Sea. The Kuna was introduced in 1994, replacing the Croatian Dinar, and it was named after the kuna, a fur-bearing animal that was historically used as a form of currency in the region.

The Kuna is divided into 100 lipa, which translates to "lime" in Croatian. Coins are issued in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 lipa, as well as 1, 2, and 5 Kunas. Banknotes are available in denominations of 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1,000 Kunas. The currency symbol for Kuna is "kn," and its international abbreviation is HRK.

The Croatian National Bank is responsible for issuing the Kuna and overseeing the country's monetary policy. Croatia's economy is diverse, with major sectors including tourism, manufacturing, and agriculture. Since joining the European Union in 2013, there have been discussions about the potential transition to the Euro, but the Kuna remains in circulation as of now.
