Do they use Euros in the Baltic States?
No. Although you can certainly exchange euros and all the other major currencies in the Baltics, each of the three countries has its own unique currency. The Latvian Lat is almost identical in value to the British Pound. (Give or take +/-2%) There are 100 centimes in a Lat. Lat notes come in denominations as large as 500 lats. The Estonian Kroon has been pegged to the Euro since 2004. Virtually all cash is in note form rather than in coins. €1 is around 15 Kroons. The Lithuanian Litas is likely to remain in use for several more years before Lithuania joins the euro. There are currently around 5 Litas to one British Pound. We advise all our clients to take advantage of ATM machines, which can be found all over the three Baltic States.
