Converting from Croatian Kuna (HRK) to Georgian Lari (GEL)

What is Croatian Kuna (HRK)

The Croatian Kuna (HRK) is the official currency of Croatia. Its name, "kuna," translates to "marten," a small animal whose fur was historically used as a form of currency. Introduced in 1994, the kuna replaced the Croatian dinar in an effort to stabilize the economy after the breakup of Yugoslavia.

The Kuna is subdivided into 100 lipa, which is the minor unit. Banknotes are available in denominations of 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1,000 kuna, while coins come in 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 lipa, and 1, 2, and 5 kuna. The currency is identified internationally by the ISO code HRK.

In recent years, the kuna has been relatively stable, but like any currency, it can be affected by various factors, including economic conditions, political stability, and market demand. Croatia is also in the process of transitioning to the Euro, which might impact the value of the kuna in the near future.

What is Georgian Lari (GEL)

The Georgian Lari (GEL) is the legal tender of Georgia, a country located at the intersection of Europe and Asia. Launched in 1995, the lari replaced the previous currency, the coupon, as part of economic reforms aimed at stabilizing the country after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

The Lari is divided into 100 tetri, its minor unit. Banknotes are issued in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 lari, while coins are available in 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 tetri, and 1, 2 lari. The international currency code for the Lari is GEL.

The Georgian economy has shown signs of growth in recent years, with the currency gaining strength against other currencies. However, the value of the Lari can be influenced by various factors including tourism, foreign investment, and economic policies.
