The Czech republic stopped printing 20 and 50 Kc banknotes in about 2001. The banknotes are still valid but seldom seen. The coins (yes, they have the same value) are much more common.
Here is a link to the banknotes page of the Central Bank of the Czech Republic web site:

Interesting question - don't know. But they have the same amout and you won't see the 50 Kc coin too often, there is just couple thousants of them. Enjoy Prague, I really miss it!

I don't know why they have coins and notes for the same amount but they are the same in value.
Prague is a beautiful - and cheap - city - so enjoy!

Yep they have 20 & 50 Czech Crown's in coins as well as notes ...
There's no spl reason for keeping both coins and notes ... Its just a matter of taste wat u prefer ....
