The Danish Currency.

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.

Danish Notes

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).

Plastic Cards.

Most Danes use the Danish card called DanKort, however plastic Cards like MasterCard, American Express and Visa are accepted most places and there are plenty of ATM's, and if needed the banks are willing to give you a helping hand.
Most banks are closed Saturday, Sunday and on public holidays.

New Danish Notes

New Notes.

Over the next couple of years "Danmarks Nationalbank" is changing the design of the Danish notes, the new 50 Kr. was released in August 2009 and the new 100 Kr. note in May 2010.

The 200 Kr., 500 Kr. and 1000 Kr. note will be released in 2011.
The new 100 and 200 Kr. notes there are being released, will be printed with "touch marks" so it will be easier for blind people to feel the difference between the two notes.
