Currency and prices
The prices in Montenegro are not equal all year round. They are often changing according to demand, season, place etc. The prices are significantly higher during the main season at the coast than the prices in inland or during the off-season time. They are adjusted in compliance with measures and purposes of the Montenegrin authorities. The prices in Montenegro do not differ from our prices too much, but in season the prices grow higher. It is not an obligation to leave the tips in the restaurants, but the prices tend to be rounded up 10%.
The single currency EURO was introduced on January 1, 2002 in Montenegro. The coins in use are 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 cents and 1 and 2 euros, the banknotes are ranging from 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 to 500 euros. The change of the foreign currency for example dollar, pound and others is provided by the exchanges, banks and post offices, but also hotels and travel agencies dispose of the exchange. The Slovak money is not officially exchanged. The post offices and most of the banks are exchanging without fees, but it is useful to be informed before the exchange. The major banks in Montenegro are Atlas Mont, Crnogorska komercijalna, Euromarket, Podgorička, Hipotekarna. Central bank is called Central Bank Crne Gore.
Beside the cash it is possible to pay by the international credit cards (Eurocard, Mastercard, Visa, Diners, American Express and others) and by euro-cheques in some facilities. Smaller towns and villages are not prepared for these services and therefore it is sometimes difficult to exchange. It is advised to take some cash with you including change in coins or banknotes of lower value. A tourist may bring an unlimited amount of the foreign currency. However, if the amount exceeds 2000 euros, it is necessary to declare it at customs authorities on entering the territory of Montenegro and apply for an issued written certificate of customs clearance. In other case, there is a danger that the exceeding exchange will be confiscated on leaving the country. The import is tolerated under 2000 euros. Chance to get the confiscated money back is very small.
