Now on its third currency in just over two decades, Slovenia sadly dropped the hyperinflated Yugoslav dinar when it declared independence in 1991 (who doesn't miss paying 50 billion dinar for coffee?), introducing its own national currency, the tolar, which featured a who's who of artists, poets, writers and intellectuals from Slovene history. The tolar was short-lived however, and Slovenia officially joined the Eurozone in 2007. Euro coins come in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 cents, 1 and 2 euros, while banknotes come in 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500 euros. The Slovene-designed euro coins are decorated with among other things storks, Mount Triglav, Lippizaner horses, a man sowing stars and a Jože Plečnik design.
