The Danish krone is the official currency of Denmark, as well as the territories of Greenland and the Faroe Islands.
One krone is divided into 100 ore, and coins are available in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 ore, as well as 1, 2 and 5 kroner. Banknotes are available in denominations of 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 1000 kroner.

Denmark is currently part of EMII and the Krone is pegged to the Euro at a rate of 7.46038:1.
The Danish krone is managed by the Danmarks Nationalbank which is based in Copenhagen and holds authority over monetary policy.
