Converting from Croatian Kuna (HRK) to Angolan Kwanza (AOA)

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 as part of Croatia's effort to establish its own monetary identity following the disintegration of Yugoslavia. It replaced the Croatian dinar at a rate of 1 Kuna = 1,000 dinars. The term "Kuna" translates to "marten," reflecting a small animal that was historically used in trade.

The Kuna is subdivided into 100 lipa. Croatian banknotes come in denominations of 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1,000 Kuna, while coins are available in 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 lipa, as well as 1, 2, and 5 Kuna. The currency symbol for the Kuna is kn, and it is recognized internationally by its ISO code HRK.

Croatia has been increasingly integrated into the European Union since joining in 2013, prompting discussions about adopting the euro in the future. For now, the Kuna remains a stable and reliable currency for everyday transactions within the country.

What is Angolan Kwanza (AOA)

The Angolan Kwanza (AOA) is the currency of Angola, a country located in Southern Africa. It was first introduced in 1977, replacing the Angolan peso at a rate of 1 Kwanza = 1,000 pesos. The Angolan Kwanza underwent several changes over the years, particularly during the inflationary periods that affected the economy.

The Kwanza is subdivided into 100 cêntimos. Currently, the Kwanza is issued in various denominations, including 100, 200, 500, 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, and 10,000 AOA banknotes. Coins are available in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 50, and 100 cêntimos and 1 Kwanza. The Kwanza symbol is Kz, and its ISO code is AOA.

Angola's economy is largely driven by oil exports, making the Kwanza sensitive to fluctuations in global oil prices. After years of economic adjustments and reforms, the Kwanza has experienced periods of instability. However, efforts by the Angolan government are aimed at stabilizing the currency and enhancing economic growth.
