Banks &
Exchange 

Only exchange money in banks and certified exchange offices. Avoid exchanging money from
individuals on the street. Exchanges offices can be found in all major hotels, travel agencies and department
stores. They are denoted as ZMENREN (Exchange/Cambio/Wechsel). Most freely convertible currencies can be exchanged
into Slovak crowns (SKK) at these exchange bureaus.
The Slovak unit of currency is the Slovenska koruna (SKK), or Slovak crown. Each crown is
divided into 100 haliers. Coins come in denominations of 10, 20 and 50 haliers, and 1, 2, 5 and 10 SKK. Bills come
in denominations of 20, 50, 100, 500, 1000 and 5000 SKK. For the current rate of exchange check any major newspaper
or use our online.
Exporting of Slovak currency is regulated so inquire at the customs office if you plan on taking
Slovak crowns with you.
