What you need to know about the currency Czech Crown
The Czech crown is the currency in circulation throughout the Czech Republic since 1993. It replaced the Czechoslovak crown after the dissolution of Czechoslovakia. Its symbol is Kč. It is divided into 100 haléřů (h), the singular of which is haléř, and the Czech National Bank is responsible for issuing it.
The banknotes of the Czech koruna are 5000, 2000, 1000, 500, 200, and 100. The current series was progressively introduced from 2007. At present, some commemorative banknotes of 100 korun ceskych, that is, 100 Czech crowns, are issued from time to time.
The currencies of the Czech Republic are 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 crowns. Almost all of them have the inscription ČESKÁ REPUBLIKA, which refers to the name of the country. Some coins have inscriptions related to Brno and Prague, two of the most important cities.
Despite the fact that the Czech Republic is surrounded by other eurozone countries, a survey conducted in 2014 showed that only 16% of the country's population supports the adoption of the euro. Therefore, the Czech koruna continues to be used in this territory.
Currently, no more than 240,000 Czech crowns can be taken out of the country, which is equivalent to about 10,000 euros. This rule also applies in other countries of the European Union with an official currency different from the euro.
