The Croatian kuna is the official currency of Croatia, abbreviated as HRK. It was introduced in 1994, replacing the Croatian dinar. The kuna is subdivided into 100 lipa, and its symbol is kn. The currency is named after the kuna, a marten-like animal that was historically used in trade. The kuna is used throughout Croatia for all transactions, including shopping, dining, and services. As a member of the European Union, Croatia has plans to adopt the euro in the future, but as of now, the kuna remains the primary currency for residents and visitors alike.
