Czech Koruna Information

The Czech koruna has been the currency of the Czech Republic since the 8th of February 1993 when it replaced the Czechoslovak koruna. The meaning of koruna in English is "crown".

The official name in Czech is koruna ceska (the plural form is koruny ceske, but the genitive plural form korun ceskych is usually found on banknotes). The ISO 4217 code is CZK and the local acronym is Kc, which is placed after the numeric value (e.g., "200 Kc"). One koruna equals 100 haleru (abbreviated as "h", singular: haler, nominative plural: halere).

The Czech Republic can adopt the Euro in 2019 but still not a fixed term.
In most of supermarkets, shops and restaurants you can pay in Euro but don't expect to get a good exchange rate.

For exchanging money better if you check the best rate in the exchange offices  and carefully with the commission rates, most of them show 0% commission but in the end they charge you a commission so ask firmly for the exact amount that you will get. Banks will usually charge you such commission.
