Key information about Danish krone
Introduced back in 1875, the word 'krone' literally means ‘crown’ in English. Although Denmark is in the EU, you’ll find that only a few shops and restaurants in the larger cities will accept the euro as payment.
Danish people participated in a referendum back in 2000, with the majority voting against joining the euro. The krone is also used in the Danish overseas territories of the Faroe Islands and Greenland.
The currency code of the Danish krone is DKK and its symbol is kr.
Danish krone denominations
Coins available in Denmark are:
- 50 øre (half a krone)
- 1kr

- 10kr
- 20kr
Notes are available in:
- 50kr
- 100kr
- 200kr

In practice, 5kr, 10kr and 20kr coins are among the most commonly used in circulation. A little loose change can be useful, while 50kr notes are also handy for small purchases such as drinks, snacks or cab fares. .
