(The word \u2018Kuna\u2019 means marten, a weasel-like animal, whose fur Croats used as payment many centuries ago. The word \u2018lipa\u2019 means lime tree, but we don\u2019t know the connection here!) When listed as a price, Kuna is abbreviated to Kn.The Kuna comes in dominations of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1,000 as notes and 1, 2, 5 and 25 (25 Kn being largely commemorative) as coins. The Lipa comes in coins of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50. In Croatian, the plural of Kuna is Kune (pronounced \u2018koo-neh\u2019), although it is fine to pluralise it \u2013 as many outside of the country do \u2013 to Kunas.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Source: <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.visit-croatia.co.uk\/index.php\/information-on-croatia\/money-in-croatia\/\">Money in Croatia &#8211; Visit Croatia &#8211; a travel guide<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; The 200 Kuna note.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[30,10],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jeremymccaleb.com\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2933"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jeremymccaleb.com\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jeremymccaleb.com\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jeremymccaleb.com\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jeremymccaleb.com\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2933"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/jeremymccaleb.com\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2933\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2968,"href":"https:\/\/jeremymccaleb.com\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2933\/revisions\/2968"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jeremymccaleb.com\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2933"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jeremymccaleb.com\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2933"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jeremymccaleb.com\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2933"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
