NORWAY (NOK) NORWEGIAN KRONER

The Krone, kroner in plural, is the currency of Norway. The international code of the currency is NOK and it is represented by the symbol ‘kr’. A krone is divided into 100 Øre. The krone replaced the Norwegian speciedaler in 1875.

Currently in circulation

Coins that are currently in circulation are in the denominations of 50 Øre, 1, 5, 10 and 20 kr. Banknotes come in the denominations of 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1000 kr. The 1000 kr note is rarely used as people prefer to use their credit cards to make larger payments.

Exchange facilities and traveller’s cheques

Foreign currency can be exchanged at banks and post offices. Traveller’s cheques are accepted in post offices, banks, hotels and by airlines and can fetch a better rate at post offices, though there is a service charge attached to a transaction made.

Using credit/debit cards

ATM’s are available at most banks and shopping centres and they accept most of the credit cards. Eurocheque cards can get you cash on personal cheques. You should not have any difficulties in using credit cards in Norway as they are very widely received in the majority of establishments.

Restrictions

There is no restriction on the amount of local or foreign currency that can be imported into Norway. But the amount of foreign currency must be declared on arrival and the conversion receipts retained to be shown on departure. The export of local currency should not exceed NOK5000.

Norway: An overview

Norway is appropriately called the ‘Land of the Midnight Sun’ and that is what Tromso is all about because here, the sun never rises in winter nor does it set in midsummer. The magnificent fjords, on the west coast of Norway, are its most prominent features. Its three major cities, Oslo the capital, Bergen a key trading port and Trondheim a place of Christian pilgrimage give the country its well-defined cultural and historical charm. The Viking country offers a vast abundance of natural beauty and is an ideal place for nature lovers. Activities include skiing, rock climbing, fishing and hunting are an added bonus.

Norway is a very expensive country to live in. Restaurants in Oslo are appallingly expensive with meals costing three times the price they would cost in the US and twice that of the UK. Four beers at a bar would cost 300NOK/$50/£32 while a pizza could cost the same amount.
