Kuna (currency)
Kuna is the name of the currency used in Croatia. Currency code is HRK. One kuna equals 100 lipa. One Euro equals around 7.35 kuna (July 2004).
The word kuna means "marten" in Croatian, while the word lipa means "linden". It has no relation to the various currencies named "koruna"; it is based on the use of marten pelts as units of value in medieval trading.
The kuna was introduced after the transitional period following Croatian independence in the early 1990s during which the Yugoslav dinar was replaced with a Croatian dinar.
