Denmark became a member of the European Union
on the 1st of January 1973 and the € (EUR) was
introduced in January 2002. However Denmark chose
to keep the old Danish currency, which is
Danish Kroner (DKR) or (DKK).
1 Dkr is equal to 100 Øre.
At the bottom of this page you can find a Currency Converter.
The Danish Kroner consists of following denominations.
NOTES: 1000 Kr, 500 Kr, 200 Kr, 100 Kr and the 50 Kr note.
Coins: 20 Kr, 10 Kr, 5 Kr, 2 Kr, 1 Kr and the smallest coin 50 øre.
However the € (EUR) can be used as payment in nearly all shops in Denmark, especially in larger town where most businesses display prices in Danish Kr. (DKR) together with the € (EUR).
