Europe’s newest currency – the HRSTKA – has now been launched at Dr. Hrstka’s cottage! Besides accepting all the usual boring old means of payment (Czech Crowns, Euros, Polish Zlotys, Cheque Déjeuner luncheon vouchers), the cottage now issues its own private currency. The Hrstka is a highly exclusive currency, reserved for the world’s most discerning travellers – in fact it’s only valid in the cottage itself and in the open courtyard next to it. If you are one of the lucky few who have Hrstkas in your pocket, you can use them to pay for any of the excellent local specialities on offer at the cottage restaurant – according to the current Exchange Rate. There are three types of Hrstka notes (1, 2 and 5 Hrstkas) – and according to the Hrstka National Bank, they are impossible to forge!

So how do you get hold of this exclusive new currency?

Well, the best way is to come to Dr. Hrstka’s cottage, and then eat and drink like kings!

For each CZK 250 you spend, you receive one Hrstka. (The waitress will explain how it works if you’re not sure.) For example: if five of you each have soup and a beer, the total cost is 280 CZK, so you get one Hrstka. If there are ten of you, it costs CZK 560, so you get two Hrstkas. And next time you come and visit, you can use your Hrstkas to pay for food or drinks, or you can keep them as a souvenir, or you can give them to somebody as a gift!

SO WHY NOT BECOME ONE OF THE PRIVILEGED FEW – AN OWNER OF EUROPE’S NEWEST CURRENCY! ONLY AVAILABLE AT DR. HRSTKA’S COTTAGE!
