What is the Currency in Macedonia?

Macedonian Denar is the country's currency. The currency symbol in Cyrillic is дeн, and the international and official symbol is MKD. 10 denars, 100 denars, 200 denars, 500 denars, 1000 denars, and 2000 denars are the most commonly used banknotes. You can buy breakfast and soda with a 100 denar banknote, for example. 1 denar, 2 denars, 5 denars, 10 denars, and 50 denars are the most commonly used coins. A 50 denar coin can be used to purchase a common breakfast burek or two bus tickets. MKD has a 0.2 percent annual inflation rate.

Besides Denars, another accepted currency is the Euro (1 Euro is about 61.50 Denars). However, you can’t use it to buy goods in supermarkets, grocery stores, shops, or pharmacies. Normal purchases are priced in the national currency. You can use euros to pay for long taxi rides, hotel rooms, car rentals, or petrol station purchases. When it comes to USD or pound sterling, you can only exchange them for denars in one of the many money changers found in any city. Keep in mind that you can’t change Macedonian Denars outside of the country, so make sure you change any money back to USD, Euro, or any other currency before leaving. This is definitely one of the most important things to know before traveling to North Macedonia.
