The Kuna has been in circulation since May 30, 1994, and is slated to be replaced with the Euro on January 1, 2023 as Croatia becomes the 20th nation to join the Eurozone, however "all shops, restaurants, hotels in the country must still honour settlements in both kuna and euro until 14 January 2023."
The name of the monetary unit the kuna comes from the Croatian word for marten, an animal living in the Croatian woods, whose pelts were used as a means of trade, that is, functioned as money.
