20SKK = 0,66 EUR
👍🎄
2 scoops of really good balkan ice cream
Back when we had SKK, 20 korún was big cash. And 50 korun was flex to have. In 2006 or so. For a kid like I was at least. Now 150 korun is 5 euro and you ain’t getting shit for that
I remember time, when you could buy a beer for 20 SKK. It was around 2003-2004?
Back in a day, this was big money, with all the inflation now, it’s basically just cents
I think bread was for like 20-23 back when I was buying bread from bakery on my way back home from school.
elementary school times for me
20 korún was a stack of money back then, when u had a 100 bill everyone knew you stole it from your parents lol
I remember mum sending me to get bread and milk with 20 Sk and I would still get some money back. Alternatively, you could have bought a few sweets for it. To sum up, 20 Sk was a nice pocket money for 10yo me 😉.
When I got my hands on one of these, circa 2005, I could buy a bag of crisps. Favourite shopping moments 😀 but it’s true what people are saying, 20SK was fine, with 50SK (circa 1,70EUR) you were a king and 100SK was a lot of money for a kid back then (3,30 EUR). Try to go somewhere these days with less than 20 EUR and you feel like a beggar. But our perception is surely impacted by the fact that we were just kids with no real financial responsibility, and relatively small money also seemed big to us.
Eyy, castle from my city 😀
Well what I remeber, you could buy a beer on ice hockey match or some snack to the school.
You could get some Milka chocolate for that
Yeah a loaf of bread or one beer
One beer and two cigarettes in a pub.
What a beautiful paper 10/10
When I was a teen, this is what I went to the city with on Friday night and I ended up drunk and had cigs to smoke. (of course, my friends and I chipped in, but all with this one)
That was one beer in bar
In 2009, when we were transitioning from Sk to €, it was worth around 66 cents.
A bag of chips
when we switched to euros, this is the only banknote I kept in my wardrobe. I still have it there, but I didn’t keep any coins unfortunately
One kinderegg
30 crowns is one euro so this was like 66 eurocents
Back then it was worth a bread, butter, ham and something sweet. Of course when there weren’t cameras;)
I literally called this banknote ***”beer note”*** because it was the exact price of beer in our local pub close to our high school (around 2004).
I know 20 crowns was a nice home made style baguette at a buffet in my high school.
20 rožoks, bread in baguette style.
The SKK banknotes were made of really nice paper, slightly rubbery and smelled ‘like money’. The euro notes do not come close.
Daamn 20 korún was chipsy money back in elementary school (potato chips).
One snack of a small baguette with cheese and ham, plus a can of cola cost about 4. So this would cover elevenses for the whole week.
0.7 dcl of coca cola in local pub
Several bread rolls, some weird but good tasting canned meat, some soft drink and then you can buy it all again – all for 20Sk.
I used to be getting 20 SVK as a weekly pocket money from parents,…. It used to have quite a value but as the EURO approached it plummeted downhill quickly. I can remember in my hometown, a price of ice cream, I could have gotten like 3 scoops for 20, then next year it was only 2, then couple of years it was only one and then we converted to EURO. so that’s that.
So we exchanged Slovak crowns (Slovenská koruna) for euros back in 2009. With exchange rate back then this bank note was worth 66 eurocent. With inflation that’s about 0.93 eurocents nowadays. So you were able to buy some small things but not really that much. However, the money were introduced in 1993 and 20 Slovak crowns back then were quite strong, it would be like 2 euros 60 cents in nowadays prices. So in 90s it would buy you enough edibles to prepare a nice breakfast meal.
This is the fourth post I see from you (also in the Netherlands, Lithuania and belgium) Very impressive and interesting collection!
Not that much some bagel with bottle of water for school
You could buy 3 borovička’s and 3 beers / around 1996 maybe
One loaf of bread
Remember going to school with 20 korún when I was 7-10. It is worth probably 60 eurocents now, but at that time I could buy 4-5 snacks with it and invite people to have something of it. You felt like Rockefeller.
No one knew how you got 20 korún then.
At the same time, to give you an idea, I think people earning over 15 000 korún per month were considered to be earning well. People earned much more of course, but it took some time.
Nobody mentioned that there was a period when you had to pay 20 korún per each doctor visit. It used to be called “zajacovka” after the health minister Rudolf Zajac.
There was one joke
Grandpa is saying: “when I was young I could go to the shop with 20SKK and return with a bread, milk, butter, beer and still have more to spend for cigaretes… Now there are cameras everywhere!”
But yea I remember at elementary school even 10skk(that I had from my parents) was a lot as a pocket money, 20skk would make you a rich kid and having 100skk bill would make you look like a thief 😀 most of the candies in school bufet costed 0.05-0.5skk, hotdog was 0.8 if I remember correctly, baguete was 1skk etc
Hi, this banknote was introduced in 1994 if I am right. In those times you could have a beer in a cheep pub (I Remember in 1998 it was 22 to 25 Sk in Bratislava downtown) or 5-6 ice creams. The value to dollar oscillated between 40 to 60 cent. It used to be 50 eurocent, then when converting to eur it was 67cents in 2008.
