The euro in Croatia
The Croatian currency is the kuna, and all prices are in

same order, some near Lipa (Lipa is the Croatian cent). For
the changes, you can do it in banks (during opening hours)
or exchange bureaus "mjenjacnica" which have the
advantage of being open later and to be numerous in Split
(1 almost all 300m). ATMs "bankomat" accept all
international credit cards and distribute kuna in banknote of
100 and 200 kuna.
