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.

About Qatari Riyal ()

The Qatari Riyal (QAR, ISO 4217 code 634, symbol ﷼ or QR) is the official currency of the State of Qatar, issued by the Qatar Central Bank (QCB, est. 1993). Subdivided into 100 dirhams. Banknotes: QR1, QR5, QR10, QR50, QR100, QR200, QR500 (the highest denomination; current 6th series introduced 2020 features Qatari landmarks — National Museum of Qatar, Doha Tower, Sidra Trees, oryx, falcon, and traditional Qatari arts); coins: 1 dirham, 5 dirhams, 10 dirhams, 25 dirhams, 50 dirhams. QAR is pegged to USD at QR3.64 per USD since June 2001 (one of the longest-standing pegs in the Gulf alongside SAR). Qatar is the world's largest LNG exporter (~80 million tonnes/year, ~20% of global LNG trade) and holds the world's 3rd-largest proven natural gas reserves (~14% of global reserves in the offshore North Field shared with Iran's South Pars). Qatar hosted the FIFA World Cup November-December 2022 (the first World Cup in the Middle East, with $220 billion infrastructure spending). Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) is one of the world's largest sovereign wealth funds (~$475B AUM as of 2024).
