Converting from Croatian Kuna (HRK) to Sri Lanka Rupee (LKR)

What is Croatian Kuna (HRK)

The Croatian Kuna (HRK) is the official currency of Croatia, a beautiful country located in Southeast Europe along the Adriatic Sea. The Kuna has been in use since May 1994, when it replaced the Croatian dinar at a rate of 1 Kuna = 1,000 dinars. The currency's name, "Kuna," which means "marten" in Croatian, derives from the fur-bearing animal that was historically used in trade.

Divided into 100 lipa, the Kuna is available in both coins and banknotes. The coins include denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 lipa, as well as 1, 2, and 5 Kuna. Banknotes are issued in values of 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1,000 Kuna. The Croatian National Bank is responsible for issuing and managing the currency, ensuring a stable monetary policy to support the country’s economy.

Croatia's tourism sector plays a significant role in the country’s economy. The Kuna is particularly important during the summer months when millions of tourists visit its scenic coastline, national parks, and historic cities.

What is Sri Lanka Rupee (LKR)

The Sri Lanka Rupee (LKR) is the currency used in the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka, an island nation located south of India in the Indian Ocean. The Rupee has been the official currency since 1872 when the British colonial government introduced it to replace the various currencies in circulation at that time. The name "Rupee" comes from the silver coin originally used in India, which is derived from the Sanskrit word "rupiaya."

The Rupee is subdivided into 100 cents and is available in both coins and banknotes. Coin denominations include 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, and 50 cents, as well as 1, 2, and 5 Rupees. Banknotes come in denominations of 10, 20, 50, 100, 500, and 1,000 Rupees. The Central Bank of Sri Lanka is responsible for issuing and regulating the currency.
