Currency and Cost of Living. Croatia - Currency and Cost of Living. The Croatian currency is the kuna, which was introduced in 1993. One kuna is worth 100 lipa. Kuna banknotes come in 1000, 500, 200, 100, 50, 10 and 5 kuna denominations. Kuna coins come in 5, 2 and 1 kuna values. Lipa coins come in 50, 20, 10, 5, 2 and 1 lipa values, although 50 and 20 lipa coins are the most commonly used.
Even though Croatia joined the European Union in 2013, and is committed in time to joining the single currency, at present the currency remains the kuna. While plenty of places accept the euro, and some hotels quote rates in euros, I use only the kuna. The spot rate (ie the exchange rate money markets quote) closed on Friday at 9.53 kuna to Â£1. Don't acquire Croatian kuna in large quantities in the UK; you will get a worse rate than when you arrive. If you like to have a modest amount of foreign currency for incidentals when you arrive, then I suggest to go to your local post office and change Â£20 or so into Croatian kuna.
