Currency in Slovenia
Many people are interested in the question: what is the currency in Slovenia? Until 2007, the Slovenian tolar was the official currency of this wonderful country. One tolar was equal to one hundred stotins. Coins were issued in denominations of 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 tolar. Banknotes - 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000, 5000, 10000 tolar. Slovenian tolar was reliable, stable and maximally protected from counterfeiting. On the front side portraits of politicians were depicted, on the back side various sights and cultural values of Slovenia were depicted. After 2007, Slovenia officially switched to the euro. However, it should be said that in some places you can still buy all sorts of small change for tolar..

Euro is sibdivided into one hundred cents. At the moment, coins are issued in denominations of 0.01, 0.02, 0.05, 0.10, 0.20, 0.50, 1.2 euros. On all coins on the obverse, the denomination of the coin is depicted, on the background of which the map of Europe is schematically depicted.

All euro bills have a common design on both sides, for all countries. All bills and coins are very well protected from counterfeiting and are periodically updated.
What currency to take to Slovenia
The answer to this question is obvious - it is best to take euros to Slovenia. If it turned out that you flew to a country with a different currency, that's okay. Currency exchange in Slovenia can be done at airports, banks, exchange offices, etc. It is worth paying attention to the fact that the exchange rate or the amount of commission may differ in different institutions. For example, in the same airport, the exchange conditions will most likely not be very profitable, so there you can exchange only part of the money planned for the vacation, and exchange the rest in the city..
In addition, the banking sector is developed in the country, which means that you can easily use plastic cards. Using cards, you can pay for various services - shops, restaurants, etc. Also, the city has a sufficient number of ATMs with which you can withdraw cash.
Import of currency into Slovenia
In general, the import of currency into the country is not limited by anything. However, when importing an amount exceeding 13.5 thousand euros (it is possible to import another currency equivalent to euros), you must fill out a declaration.
