A routine tram-ticket purchase in Zagreb produced an unexpected reminder of Croatia’s former currency. The ticket, bought from a driver on Aug. 31, 2026, listed the fare as 10 kuna rather than euros.

The ticket covers 60 minutes of travel. Under ZET’s current price list, the same ticket costs 1.33 euros when purchased from the driver. Converted at the fixed rate of 7.53450 kuna per euro, that equals about 10.02 kuna, so the fare itself was essentially correct.

The oddity was the currency printed on the ticket. Croatia has not used the kuna since the beginning of 2023, yet the old denomination still appeared on a ticket sold in one of Zagreb’s trams.

The newspaper asked ZET whether the ticket came from old stocks, how many such tickets might remain in circulation, and whether the transport operator considered their continued use appropriate. It said it would publish ZET’s response when received. A 60-minute ticket bought outside the vehicle costs 0.93 euros.
