Converting from Croatian Kuna (HRK) to Bhutan Ngultrum (BTN)

What is Croatian Kuna (HRK)

The Croatian Kuna (HRK) is the official currency of Croatia, a beautiful country located in Southeast Europe. The word "kuna" translates to "marten," a small carnivorous mammal. This currency was introduced in 1994, replacing the Croatian Dinar at a rate of 1 kuna = 1,000 dinars. The Kuna is subdivided into 100 lipa.

The currency features various denominations, including coins and banknotes. Coins come in 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 lipa, along with 1, 2, and 5 kuna. Banknotes exist in 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1,000 kuna denominations. Each banknote depicts notable figures from Croatian history, art, and culture, including famous poets and politicians.

As Croatia is a member of the European Union, many people are curious about when the country will adopt the Euro. However, as of now, it is still using the Kuna. If you plan to travel to or do business in Croatia, understanding the Kuna is crucial for effective financial transactions and budgeting.

What is Bhutan Ngultrum (BTN)

The Bhutan Ngultrum (BTN) is the official currency of Bhutan, a small kingdom nestled in the Eastern Himalayas. The Ngultrum was introduced in 1974 and is pegged to the Indian Rupee (INR), making it easier for the Bhutanese economy since the Indian Rupee is widely used in Bhutan.

The Ngultrum is also subdivided into 100 chhetrums, though chhetrums are rarely used in practical transactions today. The currency comes in both coins and banknotes. Coins are available in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, and 50 chhetrums, along with 1, 2, 5, and 10 ngultrums. Banknotes are issued in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500, and 1,000 ngultrums.

The design of the Ngultrum incorporates aspects of Bhutanese culture, including images of significant national symbols such as the country's famous dzongs (fortresses) and deities. The currency reflects the country's unique heritage, values, and commitment to Gross National Happiness, the guiding philosophy of the Bhutanese government.
