Denmark (DKK) Danish Kroner

The Danish Krone is made up of 100 øre. To pluralise krone, you simply add an ‘r’ on the end and it becomes kroner. The word ‘krone’ means crown and is also the name of the currencies in the other Scandinavian countries. Danish krone have been used in Denmark since 1873 and the country is in no hurry to move to the Euro, unlike Germany, its southern neighbour which is a staunch supporter of the unified currency across the E.U. When purchasing goods in Denmark, you would normally see prices written with the initials ‘kr’ to indicate the relevant price.

Currently in circulation

Coins in circulation at present include the 50 øre and 1, 2, 5, 10 and 20 kroner. Banknotes are in the denominations of 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1,000 kroner. On the front of the notes there are well known Danes from history and the backs carry some interesting designs, often depicting some weird mythological creatures. The banknotes which are now in use were introduced in 1997. The 25 øre coin was taken out of circulation on the 1st October 2008.

Exchange facilities and traveller’s cheques

Bureaux de change facilities are commonly found across the country. Especially in the larger cities. As with most other countries, do shop around for better commission deals. Remember that you may not tend to secure such a good rate of exchange at airports as the exchange facilities may be aware of the fact that they have a captive audience. Traveller’s cheques are quite widely accepted, but may not be so desirable in the smallest Danish towns. Taking US dollars may work out to be the best option, although you will be able to exchange Pounds sterling.

Using credit/debit cards

As Denmark is such an advanced and contemporary society, you will not encounter any problems in using either credit or debit cards in the country. Credit cards will be accepted by most large retailers, especially visa and mastercard. You should also be able to use your debit card in ATM machines, although it would pay to be mindful of any charges that you may incur for their use here. Check with the card provider before travelling. It may be prudent to take traveller’s cheques or even currency itself beforehand.

Restrictions

This is a slightly confusing area as Denmark claims not to have any restrictions on bringing money into or out of the country. However, on closer inspection, this is not the case and you are advised to declare amounts equivalent to 10,000 euros and over to customs officials. This covers banknotes and traveller’s cheques.

Denmark: an overview

Denmark is an exceptionally tolerant society and it is reputed to offer its citizens a high standard of living. Much of the country is on large islands which lie to the east of the mainland, which is known as Jutland. It is here that there is a border with Germany to the south. The nation’s capital is wonderful Copenhagen and this city is truly worth a visit. From its amazing theme park, Tivoli Gardens, which is situated right in the middle of the city centre, to its beautiful and unique architecture, this amazingly cosmopolitan city and country has something to offer everybody and to keep bringing them back time and again. Many people often forget that Denmark also includes the antonymous regions of Greenland and the Faroe Islands.

Denmark is relatively expensive in comparison to much of Europe. However, that said, it is still cheaper than other Scandinavian countries who travel here for cheaper prices. In a typical restaurant a not too fussy meal for two would probably end up costing you around £40 or $60.
