About Swedish Krona (kr)
The Swedish Krona (SEK, ISO 4217 code 752, symbol kr) is the official currency of Sweden, issued by the Sveriges Riksbank (est. 1668 — the world's oldest still-operating central bank, predating the Bank of England by 26 years). Subdivided into 100 öre (the 5 öre coin was last used 1972, then 25/50 öre to 2010). Banknotes: 20 kr (Astrid Lindgren), 50 kr (Evert Taube), 100 kr (Greta Garbo), 200 kr (Ingmar Bergman), 500 kr (Birgit Nilsson — the most valuable opera-soprano-featuring banknote in Europe), 1000 kr (Dag Hammarskjöld); coins: 1 kr, 2 kr, 5 kr, 10 kr. Sweden joined the EU in 1995 but voted against joining the Eurozone in a 2003 referendum (56% No). Sweden is one of the world's most cash-light societies — over 80% of transactions are cashless per Riksbank surveys, and the Riksbank operates a CBDC pilot called the e-krona (Phase 4 ongoing 2024). The Riksbank targets 2% CPI inflation per its 1993 inflation-targeting framework.
