Converting from Croatian Kuna (HRK) to Kazakhstan Tenge (KZT)

What is Croatian Kuna (HRK)

The Croatian Kuna (HRK) is the official currency of Croatia. It was introduced in 1994, replacing the Croatian dinar at a rate of 1 kuna to 1,000 dinars. The name "kuna" comes from a word meaning "marten," a type of animal whose fur was historically used as a form of currency in the region. One kuna is subdivided into 100 lipa, which are the smaller denomination coins.

The Kuna is further divided into coins and banknotes. Coins come in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 lipa, as well as 1, 2, and 5 kuna coins. Banknotes are available in denominations of 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1,000 kuna.

As part of the European Union, Croatia has been evaluating the possibility of adopting the euro as its main currency. However, as of now, the kuna remains in use. The exchange rate of the kuna can fluctuate depending on economic conditions within Croatia and the broader European market.

What is Kazakhstan Tenge (KZT)

The Kazakhstan Tenge (KZT) is the official currency of Kazakhstan. Introduced in 1993, the tenge replaced the Soviet ruble at a rate of 500 tenge for 1 ruble. The word "tenge" originates from the old Turkic term for "weight," reflecting its historical association with trade and commerce.

The tenge is divided into 100 tiyn, but tiyn coins are rarely used in daily transactions. Instead, the tenge is commonly represented in coins and banknotes. Coins are available in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 tiyn, and 1, 2, 5, 10, and 20 tenge. The banknotes come in larger denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, 10,000, and 20,000 tenge.

Kazakhstan's economy is heavily influenced by its natural resources, particularly oil and gas. As such, the value of the tenge can experience significant fluctuations based on the global prices of these commodities. The Kazakhstan government aims to stabilize the currency through various monetary policies.
