Converting from Croatian Kuna (HRK) to Macedonian Denar (MKD)

What is Croatian Kuna (HRK)

The Croatian Kuna (HRK) is the official currency of Croatia. Introduced in 1994, it replaced the Yugoslav dinar at a rate of 1 Kuna for 1,000 old dinars. The name 'Kuna' translates to 'marten', a small furry animal, which was historically used as currency by trade in the region.

One Kuna is subdivided into 100 lipa. The currency code 'HRK' is often used in international transactions. Banknotes come in denominations of 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1,000 Kuna, while coins are available in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 lipa and 1, 2, and 5 Kuna.

Croatia's economy has seen significant growth in recent years, largely due to tourism, which is a major contributor to the country’s revenue. The Kuna has remained relatively stable against other European currencies, especially since Croatia's accession to the European Union in 2013. Though Croatia is preparing to adopt the Euro in the future, the Kuna continues to play a vital role in the daily transactions of Croatians and visitors alike.

What is Macedonian Denar (MKD)

The Macedonian Denar (MKD) is the official currency of North Macedonia. It was introduced in 1992, replacing the Yugoslav dinar at a rate of 1,000 dinars for 1 Denar. The name 'Denar' derives from the Latin term 'denarius', a coin used in ancient Rome.

The Denar is also divided into 100 deni. The currency code 'MKD' is widely recognized in global financial markets. Denominations of banknotes include 10, 50, 100, 500, and 1,000 Denars, while coins come in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 50 deni and 1, 2, 5 Denars.

North Macedonia's economy has faced challenges, but it has steadily improved due to structural reforms and foreign investments. The Denar has been pegged to the Euro since 1995, ensuring a stable exchange rate that provides confidence to both locals and international investors.
