Euro to Norwegian Krone

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 Norwegian krone (symbol: kr, code: NOK, number 578) is the national currency of Norway, valid in the country since 1874 to have replaced the Norwegian daler. Although nominally the krone is subdivided into 100 ore, coins denominations of less than 1 crone have been discontinued, and ore has existed only electronically since 2012. The banknotes design bears traditional Scandinavian decorations depicting ships, lighthouses, sea waves, cod.

The exchange rate varies depending on oil prices and other economic factors. The average inflation index is low,e.g. in autumn 2019 it was only 1.8%. During 2017 - 2019, all old banknotes were replaced in the country. They can be exchanged in banks until 2028.
