On 1 January 2007, the euro became legal tender in Slovenia, replacing the Slovenian tolar (SIT) at the irrevocably fixed exchange rate of €1 = SIT 239.640. Consequently, euro banknotes and coins had to be widely available in Slovenia by this date. To ensure that this demand would be met, banks received 250 million euro coins worth €84 million from 25 September 2006 and 41.5 million euro banknotes worth €772 million from 29 November 2006. Some of this cash was pre-distributed to retailers and other companies. In addition, Banka Slovenije started selling, via commercial banks, euro coin starter kits to professional cash handlers on 1 December and to the public on 15 December 2006. Details of the pre-distribution of euro banknotes and coins were laid down in ECB Guideline ECB/2006/9.
