Croatia (officially the Republic of Croatia) is a state located in Southwestern Europe in the northwest of the Balkan Pen...insula. Croatia is bordered to the west by Slovenia, to the north by Hungary, to the east by Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia, and in the area of the enclave of Dubrovnik and Montenegro. From the southwest, the territory of Croatia is washed by the waters of the Adriatic Sea. Today, banknotes of 5-1000 kunas and coins of 1-25 kunas, 1-50 lipas are used in circulation. The Republic of Croatia wants to join the EU, but is not yet ready to abandon its banknote in favor of the euro. Local authorities have long been deciding how to name the national currency. The chosen name “kuna” is not accidental, it comes from “marten”, it was her skins that were previously used for payment. The same animal adorns the coins of the country. HRK appeared in circulation in 1994 instead of the Croatian dinar, which appeared in 1991 as a result of secession from Yugoslavia. Since 1995, the kuna has remained the only national currency in Croatia.

BBD (Barbadian dollar) is the national currency of the Caribbean island nation of Barbados. Barbados is an island nation in the Lesser Antilles off the coast of South America. Both the Spanish and th...e Portuguese claimed the island during their periods of colonial expansion, but it was the British who later established a colony there in 1627. Since 1949, with the introduction of the British West Indies dollar, the currency of Barbados has become officially associated with the activities of the British Eastern Caribbean and the territory as a whole. Between 1938 and 1949, the government of Barbados issued paper banknotes in dollars. The last private bank notes were issued in 1949. British pound sterling coins were replaced with new coins in 1955. In 1965, the East Caribbean dollar replaced the British West Indies dollar in Barbados.
