As of the 1st. January 2023, Croatians have only 15 days left to spend their Kuna's. The banks will accept them for exchange for Euros up until the 31st. December 2023.
Also today Croatia enter the Schengen zone, which makes crossing similar borders easier.
Over the years I've chucked into a pot the coins that I didn't put back into circulation as it's more hassle than it was worth because of the small denominations. As 1 Kuna was equivalent to 12 pence sterling, 100 Lipa was equivalent to 1 Kuna. I tried to get hold of 100 x 1 Lipa coins but only ever managed to get one of them in my change along with only 1 x 2 Lipe coin. These were quite rare to find in your change. Imagine having to count out 100 x 1 Lipa coins to buy a few sweets! The brass coloured 5 & 10 Lipa coins were quite commonly seen discarded in the streets.
The range of coins were; 1 Lipa, 2 Lipe, 5 Lipa, 10 Lipa, 20 Lipa, 50 Lipa, 1 Kuna, 2 Kune, 5 Kuna. There's also a 25 Kuna coin but it was mainly released for commemorative reasons.
It will be sad to see the Kuna currency go but the Euro will make it easier when popping over the borders.

The queue will be a distant memory. This means that I'll be able to drive from Croatia to Italy without any hassle. 

I look forward to our next visit to Vrsar, and buying our ice creams in euros!
And it should reduce the queue to cross the border at Border police station Secovlje Mejni prehod Sečovlje (SLO) - Plovanija (HR), going from Portoroz into Croatia, and back.
