| Croatia's unit of currency is the kuna (kn), which is divided into
100 lipa. Coins come in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 lipa,
and 1, 2, and 5 kuna; and there are notes of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200,
500 and 1000 kuna. The exchange rate is currently around 12kn to £1,
8.50kn to $1. Although accommodation and ferry prices are often quoted
in Deutschmarks, you pay in kuna.
Banks ( banka ) are generally open Monday to Friday 7.30am. Money can
also be changed in post offices, travel agencies and exchange bureaux (
mjenjacnica ), which have more flexible hours. Credit cards are only
accepted in the bigger hotels and more expensive restaurants, although
you can use them to get cash from ATMs and the bigger banks. |
