History

Until the late 18th century, the krone was a denomination equal to 8 mark.[1] A new krone was introduced as the currency of Denmark in 1873. It replaced the rigsdaler at a rate of 2 kroner = 1 rigsdaler. The krone was introduced as a result of the Scandinavian Monetary Union, which lasted until World War I. The initial parties to the monetary union were the Scandinavian countries of Sweden and Denmark, with Norway joining two years later. This placed the krone on the gold standard at a rate of 2480 kroner = 1 kilogram fine gold. The Rigsdaler was the unit of currency used in Denmark until 1873 and in Norway until 1816. ... 1873 (MDCCCLXXIII) was a common year starting on Wednesday (see link for calendar). ... The Rigsdaler was the unit of currency used in Denmark until 1873 and in Norway until 1816. ...

The gold standard is a monetary system in which the standard economic measure of value is gold, and the currencies which are used as units of account are specified as a weight of gold, ideally fixed and not subject to change, and where all currency issuance is to one degree...

The name of the common currency was "krone" in Denmark and Norway (see Norwegian krone), and the "krona" in Sweden (both names mean "crown" in English). After the dissolution of the monetary union, Denmark, Norway and Sweden all decided not to change the names of the now separate currencies. ISO 4217 Code NOK User(s) Norway Inflation rate 2. ...

The Scandinavian Monetary Union came to end in 1914 when the gold standard was abandoned. Denmark returned to the gold standard in 1924 but left it permanently in 1931. Between 1940 and 1945, the krone was tied to the German Reichsmark. Following the end of the German occupation, a rate of 24 krone to the British pound was introduced, reduced to 19.34 (4.8 krone = 1 US dollar) in August the same year. Within the Bretton Woods System, Denmark devalued its currency with the pound in 1949 to a rate of 6.91 to the dollar. A further devaluation in 1967 resulted in rates of 7.5 krone = 1 dollar and 18 krone = 1 pound. User(s) Germany Subunit 1/100 Reichspfennig Symbol RM Reichspfennig Rpf. ...

Faroe Islands and Greenland

On the Faroe Islands Danish coins are used as well but the islands use bank notes with unique Faroese motifs (see: Faroese króna; although a common misunderstanding, the Faroese króna is legally speaking not an independent currency.) In 2006, the governments of Denmark and Greenland announced that by 2008, Greenlanders would be able to pay with Danish banknotes printed with Greenlandic motifs, similar to the current situation in the Faroes.

Relationship to the euro

Denmark negotiated special "opt-outs" of the Maastricht Treaty that allowed the country to preserve the krone while the majority of the European Union adopted the euro in 1999. A new referendum held in 2000 reconfirmed the population's attachment to the krone. The Liberal-Conservative government of Anders Fogh Rasmussen planned on holding another referendum on the adoption of the euro in 2004, but these plans were dropped when polls showed decreasing support for the euro. The government is still committed to Danish membership of the euro. The Maastricht Treaty (formally, the Treaty of European Union, TEU) was signed on February 7, 1992 in Maastricht, Netherlands after final negotiations in December 1991 between the members of the European Community and entered into force on November 1, 1993 during the Delors Commission. ...

The krone is closely pegged to the euro via the ERM II, the European Union's exchange rate mechanism. Before the introduction of the euro, the krone was linked to the Deutsche Mark, thus keeping the krone stable at all times.

Coins

The coins of the krone are minted by the Danish National Bank. When the currency was introduced, coins were minted in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10 and 25 øre and 1, 2, 10 and 20 kroner. The 1, 2 and 5 øre were minted in bronze, the 10 and 25 øre and 1 and 2 kroner in silver and the 10 and 20 kroner in gold. Production of gold coins ceased in 1916, followed by silver coins in 1919. Iron was substituted for bronze in 1918 and 1919. In 1920, cupro-nickel 10 and 25 øre were introduced, followed, in 1924, by aluminium-bronze ½, 1 and 2 krone coins.
