Euro to Icelandic Króna

The euro (sign: €, code: EUR, number: 978) is the official currency of the Eurozone. Presently, the Eurozone comprises 19 EU states and several non-EU microstates and special territories, such as the Vatican or the Republic of Kosovo. The euro has replaced the former accounting currency European Currency Unit (ECU).

The non-cash form of the euro currency came into existence in 1999. Physical euro banknotes and coins entered into circulation in 2002. The European currency is second in international interbank turnover, succumbing only to the US dollar.

The Icelandic krona (symbol: kr, codes: ISK, and 352) is the national currency of Iceland. Since the country is not a member of the EU and the Eurozone, the krona is the only official currency in the state. One krona is subdivided into 100 aurar, but coins less than 1 krona have been discontinued.

The Icelandic krone banknotes have been printed since 1885, remaining one of the few European currencies to have been preserved virtually unchanged since the 19th century. In 1981, a denomination took place in Iceland. Citizens received the new krone at the rate of 100: 1.
