All about Danish currency
What countries use the Danish Krone?
The Danish Krone (DKK) is the official currency of Denmark, Greenland, and the Faroe Islands.
As one of Europe’s oldest currencies, it’s steeped in history and practicality.
Fun fact: Despite being part of the European Union, Denmark has opted to keep the Krone instead of adopting the Euro—a true testament to its unique cultural identity.

Fun facts about DKK
The Danish Krone has been in circulation since 1875, following the establishment of the Scandinavian Monetary Union.

Today, the DKK reflects Denmark’s blend of tradition and modernity, making it a symbol of the country’s stability and innovation.
