Converting from Croatian Kuna (HRK) to Solomon Islands Dollar (SBD)

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. Introduced in 1994, it replaced the Croatian dinar at a rate of 1 kuna to 1,000 dinars. The name "kuna" comes from a word meaning "marten," a fur-bearing animal that was once used as a form of currency in medieval times.

The Kuna is divided into 100 lipa, which means "lime tree" in Croatian. The currency symbolizes Croatian sovereignty and has a rich range of banknotes and coins featuring images of notable Croatian figures, cultural symbols, and historical events. 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, as well as 1, 2, 5, and 25 kuna.

As a member of the EU’s Economic and Monetary Union, Croatia is not yet using the euro but is planning to adopt it in the near future. Until then, travelers and businesses dealing with Croatia will need to use the Kuna for transactions.
