The Slovenian Tolar was the official currency of Slovenia before the country adopted the Euro. It was in use from 1991 to 2006.

The Slovenian Tolar was introduced after Slovenia gained independence in 1991. It was replaced by the Euro on January 1, 2007, when Slovenia, along with several other European countries, adopted the common currency.
