About Danish Krone (kr)
The Danish Krone (DKK, ISO 4217 code 208, symbol kr) is the official currency of Denmark, Greenland, and the Faroe Islands, issued by Danmarks Nationalbank (est. 1818). Subdivided into 100 øre. Banknotes: 50 kr, 100 kr, 200 kr, 500 kr, 1000 kr (current series features Danish bridges + archaeological artifacts); coins: 50 øre, 1 kr, 2 kr, 5 kr, 10 kr, 20 kr (some with a distinctive central hole — a Danish coin tradition since 1924). DKK is pegged to the Euro within a ±2.25% band under the ERM II (Exchange Rate Mechanism II) since 1999 — the central rate is 7.46038 DKK per EUR with the Nationalbank intervening to maintain narrow trading bands (typically ±0.5% in practice). Denmark joined the EU in 1973 but has a permanent opt-out from euro adoption per the 1992 Edinburgh Decision (after Danes rejected Maastricht ratification June 1992; second referendum on the euro itself rejected it September 2000, 53% No). The Faroe Islands and Greenland use DKK but issue distinct designs.
About Icelandic Krona (kr)
The Icelandic Króna (ISK, ISO 4217 code 352, symbol kr) is the official currency of Iceland, issued by the Central Bank of Iceland (Seðlabanki Íslands, est. 1961). Subdivided into 100 aurar (singular: eyrir, plural: aurar — no longer in circulation since 2003). Banknotes: kr500 (poetess Jónas Hallgrímsson), kr1,000 (Bishop Brynjólfur Sveinsson), kr2,000 (painter Jóhannes Sveinsson Kjarval), kr5,000 (suffragist Ragnheiður Jónsdóttir), kr10,000 (poet Jónas Hallgrímsson, introduced October 2013 — the highest denomination); coins: kr1, kr5, kr10, kr50, kr100. The króna was famously the only OECD national currency to declare formal default during the Global Financial Crisis — Iceland's three largest banks (Glitnir, Landsbanki, Kaupthing) collapsed October 2008, ISK lost ~50% of its value, and Iceland imposed capital controls (lifted gradually 2016-2017). Iceland is not in the EU (twice rejected EU accession — 2002 referendum, 2013 accession freeze under PM Gunnlaugsson) and uses ISK as its sole legal tender. The Seðlabanki targets 2.5% CPI inflation per the Inflation-Targeting framework adopted March 2001. Iceland has ~390,000 population and is one of the world's wealthiest per-capita nations.
