Slovak crown
From Freepedia
This article deals with the currency of modern Slovakia. For the currency of the WWII Slovak Republic see Slovak crown (WWII).
The Slovak crown or Slovak koruna (in Slovak Slovenská koruna;"koruna" means crown) has been the currency of Slovakia since February 8, 1993. It replaced the Czechoslovak Crown - see there for history.
The official name, the ISO 4217 code and the local acronym for the Slovak Crown is Slovenská koruna, SKK, Sk. One crown equals 100 hellers (written shortly as "hal.", in Slovak singular: halier). The Slovak Crown acronym is placed behind the numeric value.

Coins of nominal value 50h, 1, 2, 5 and 10 crowns, and banknotes of nominal value 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000 and 5000 crowns are used, as of 2004. The 10 and 20 heller coins were taken out of circulation by 31 December 2003.
One euro is about 39 crowns and one US dollar is about 30 crowns based on the Slovak koruna exchange rate (as of May 2005). The current exchange rate to various currencies can be found at [1].
Slovak Crown is supposed to be replaced by the euro on January 1, 2009.
