Dinar, tolar, euro – money in Slovenia

Thursday, November 26th, 2009

Every tourist has to know what money Slovenia uses. Well, you can not pay for your accommodation if you do not have euros in your pocket. Of course some owners of accommodation accept dollars or maybe Croatian kuna, but in stores and restaurants, bars and other places you can pay only with our currency.

Slovenian money

Slovenia has joined the European Union 01.05.2004 and we had to change our Slovenian tolar for euros. 01.01.2007 we started to use euros and from 14.01.2007 on euro is only money Slovenia use. If you were in Slovenia years ago and you have some Slovenia money you can still change it at the Bank of Slovenia. For changing Slovenian banknotes there is no time limit but for changing coins you have time ‘only’ until 31.12.2016.
