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 Uruguayan Peso ($U)
The Uruguayan Peso (UYU, ISO 4217 code 858, symbol $U or simply $) is the official currency of the Eastern Republic of Uruguay, issued by the Banco Central del Uruguay (BCU, est. 1967). Subdivided into 100 centésimos (no longer in physical circulation). Banknotes: $20, $50, $100, $200, $500, $1,000, $2,000 (the highest denomination, introduced 2015; current series features Uruguayan historical figures — Juan Manuel Blanes the painter, Eduardo Acevedo Vásquez, Joaquín Torres García, Florencio Sánchez, José Pedro Varela, Susana Soca, Idea Vilariño); coins: 1 peso, 2 pesos, 5 pesos, 10 pesos, 50 pesos. Uruguay is South America's smallest Spanish-speaking country (~3.4 million population) and one of Latin America's most-developed economies (~$80B GDP) — Uruguay consistently ranks #1 in Latin America for Democracy Index, Corruption Perceptions Index, Press Freedom, and Economic Freedom. The country abolished income tax, legalized cannabis (the first country to do so nationally, in 2013), abolished same-sex marriage prohibitions (2013), and legalized abortion (2012) — all under President José 'Pepe' Mujica's broad social-democratic agenda. Major exports include beef (Uruguay is the world's largest per-capita beef producer), soybeans, dairy products, rice, and cellulose pulp. BCU has gradually shifted to inflation-targeting framework.
