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 Swiss Franc (Fr)
The Swiss Franc (CHF, ISO 4217 code 756, symbol Fr or SFr) is the official currency of Switzerland and Liechtenstein, issued by the Swiss National Bank (SNB, est. 1907). Subdivided into 100 centimes (in French) / Rappen (in German) / centesimi (in Italian) / raps (in Romansh). Banknotes: 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 1000 CHF; coins: 5, 10, 20, 50 centimes, 1, 2, 5 CHF. CHF is regarded as a global 'safe-haven' currency due to Switzerland's political neutrality, strong Triple-A credit rating, low debt-to-GDP ratio (~17%, among the lowest in OECD), and gold-backed reserves (~22% of SNB foreign reserves were in gold as of 2024). Historically CHF was pegged to gold until 1999 and maintained a unilateral cap of 1.20 CHF/EUR from September 2011 to January 15, 2015 ('Swiss Franc Shock' when SNB unexpectedly abandoned the peg, causing a 30% intraday spike). SNB targets price stability (CPI inflation between 0 and 2% per Federal Act on the SNB).
