History of the Danish Krone

The first krone was issued somewhere during the 1800s. The Danish monarch sponsored the creation of the Danish krone and gave the currency its name; the name literally translates to "crown." In 1873, the rigsdaler was replaced by the new Danish krone, which came into circulation the same year. Prior to the start of World War I, the Monetary Union included the krone as one of its currencies. In 1914, the Union was dissolved, and the period of the gold standard came to an end. In 1924, Denmark decided to re-adopt the gold standard, but just four years later, they abandoned it again.

Between the years 1940 and 1945, the Danish krone and the German reichsmark were used interchangeably as a single currency. Following the end of World War II, one pound was equal to twenty-four krone. Following the implementation of the Brentwood system in 1949, the value of the krone decreased to 6.91 kr for every 1 dollar in American currency.

1997 saw the introduction of a whole new series of banknotes. The first year the thematic coins were made accessible to the public was 2001, which was also the first year that they were produced. 2009 and 2011 saw the introduction of wholly original designs for banknotes.

From it's all-time low in 2009 to it's all-time high in 2019, the Euro to Danish Krone exchange rate has ranged between 7.45 and 7.47, with the majority of those fluctuations occurring within that narrow band.

Banknotes in the denominations of 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1,000 krona can currently be found in circulation. There are coins valued at ½ krone, 1 krone, 10 krone, and 20 krone.

After making the decision in 2014 to outsource the printing of the currency, the National Bank of Denmark printed its final batch of Danish krone notes on December 20, 2016, marking the end of the bank's printing operations.
