Danish Krone to Bulgarian Lev — exchange rate

The Danish krone (kr.) is a currency issued and used for payment in Denmark. It is also an official currency on the Faroe Islands, and in an autonomous Danish region, Greenland.

It is abbreviated to DKK. Coins used for change are called øre. Every Danish krone has 100 øre. It became an official national currency in 1873. The coins of the present type have been minted since 1989. Only those notes issued after 1945 are accepted in payment. Interestingly, the Faroe Islands have their own krone, although it is not accepted in Denmark. Greenland, however, has not introduced its own currency, and still uses DKK.

The Bulgarian lev (лв.) is the national currency of Bulgaria. The rate of this national currency is tied to fluctuations of euro.

The notes are also known as BGN. Minted coins named stotinka are used as change for the Bulgarian lev. 1 BGN equals 100 stotinki. The name itself comes from the French currency – centime. BGN was first issued in 1879. After several monetary reforms, the present design of the notes was shaped. The most recent change of the lev’s design dates back to 1999. Despite numerous claims made by Bulgaria on switching to euro, lev is still used for payment on the country’s territory. It is embellished with the portraits of famous cultural, historical and political figures.
