Banknotes of Denmark

The official currency of Denmark is the Danish krone (DKK), issued by the Danmarks Nationalbank. Paper money was first introduced in Denmark in 1813. A major reform occurred in 1945 when the krone underwent a redenomination, resulting in a new series featuring updated designs and security features. Collectors often focus on the artistic elements and historical themes depicted on Danish banknotes. The 1997 series, for example, features portraits of acclaimed Danish figures and incorporates innovative security measures like color-shifting ink. The use of different sizes in banknotes according to denomination adds to their appeal among numismatists.
