Converting from Lebanese Pound (LBP) to Croatian Kuna (HRK)

What is Lebanese Pound (LBP)

The Lebanese Pound (LBP) is the official currency of Lebanon. It is abbreviated as LBP and is often represented by the symbol ل.ل. The currency has been in use since 1924 and has undergone several changes and revaluations over the years. Due to its historical ties and periodic economic crises, the Lebanese Pound can be quite volatile.

As of recent years, Lebanon has faced significant economic challenges, leading to fluctuations in the value of the LBP. The currency is subdivided into 100 piastres, but coins in piastres are no longer in regular circulation. Most transactions are done with banknotes, and the common denominations are 1,000 LBP, 5,000 LBP, 10,000 LBP, and larger notes.

Due to Lebanon's economic situation, often the LBP is used in tandem with foreign currencies. Many businesses, particularly in urban areas, accept payment in U.S. dollars, given the challenges with the local currency's stability.

What is Croatian Kuna (HRK)

The Croatian Kuna (HRK) is the official currency of Croatia, introduced in 1994 to replace the Yugoslav dinar. The kuna is further divided into 100 lipa, with the symbol "kn" being the internationally recognized abbreviation. The name “kuna” is derived from the word for “marten,” a small animal that was historically used for trade in the region.

The Kuna has faced some challenges as well, especially in the wake of the global financial crisis and the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the Croatian economy has shown resilience, and the kuna has stabilized over the past few years. The common denominations of banknotes range from 10 HRK to 1,000 HRK, with coins available in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 lipa, as well as 1, 2, and 5 kuna.
