The Danish krone (international symbol: kr, code: DKK ,number: 208) is the official currency of Denmark effective since 1873.The crone is subdivided into 100 era coins. The banknotes issued since 1945 are still in circulation.

The Danish currency is pegged to the euro at a fixed exchange rate of 7.4 krones for 1 euro, which is supposed to be preserved until the country joins the Eurozone. The Danish currency is used for cash payments and non-cash transfers in Greenland. It is also in circulation on the Faroe Islands, at the exchange rate for local crowns of 1: 1.

The Ukrainian hryvnia (sign грн, code UAH) serves as the national currency of Ukraine. It is not printed or accepted outside it. Kopiykas are used as change for the Ukrainian hryvnia.

Every UAH has 100 kopiykas. The currency has been in circulation since 1996. Prior to that, there was the karbovantes, and even earlier there was the Soviet ruble. The word “hryvnia” comes for the term “mane”. It defined coins with strings, resembling a bright mane of a golden horse. The word became widespread in old Rus. It was used as a weight measurement.
