Converting from Croatian Kuna (HRK) to Cayman Islands Dollar (KYD)

What is Croatian Kuna (HRK)

The Croatian Kuna (HRK) is the official currency of Croatia. Its name, "kuna," means "marten," a fur-bearing animal once used as a trading commodity in the region. Introduced in 1994, the Kuna replaced the Croatian dinar at a rate of 1 Kuna for 100 dinars. The currency is subdivided into 100 lipa, which is a smaller unit.

On banknotes, you will find prominent figures from Croatian history, literature, and the arts, making the currency not just a medium for transactions but also a reflection of the nation’s rich cultural heritage. The most common denominations of Kuna banknotes are 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1,000 HRK. The coins, which are available in amounts of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 lipa, as well as 1, 2, and 5 Kuna, are also widely used.

The Kuna is a part of the European Union (EU), although Croatia is not yet a member of the Eurozone. As such, it serves as a stable currency, influenced by both local economic factors and broader EU rates.

What is Cayman Islands Dollar (KYD)

The Cayman Islands Dollar (KYD) is the official currency of the Cayman Islands, a British Overseas Territory located in the Caribbean. The KYD was introduced in 1972, replacing the Jamaican Dollar at a rate of 1 KYD for 1.2 Jamaican Dollars. The currency is subdivided into 100 cents.

The Cayman Islands Dollar is known for its strong value compared to other currencies, making it one of the highest-valued currencies in the world. This strength is supported by the territory’s robust financial services industry, tourism, and a lack of direct taxation, which attracts a wide range of international businesses.

KYD banknotes feature images of significant national symbols, including the iconic Blue Iguana and various local scenes that showcase the beauty of the islands. Common denominations for banknotes include 1, 5, 10, 25, and 100 KYD, while coins are available in 1, 5, 10, 25 cents, and 1 KYD.
