Danish Krone to Norwegian Krone — 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 Norwegian krone (kr) is the official currency issued and accepted for payment in the Kingdom of Norway. In foreign currency exchange, the term for the currency is NOK. The Norwegian krone could be previously subdivided into øre.

Every NOK had øre. However, in 2012, the last coins left in circulation – 50 øre – were eliminated. The Norwegian krone had a characteristic design in a marine style. The notes have lighthouses, sailboats, and rare sea animals. The currency floats independently.
