Swedish Krona to Norwegian Krone

The Swedish Krona (symbol: kr, code: SEK, number 752) is the national currency introduced in 1873 as the currency of the Scandinavian Monetary Union. It has later on become the internal currency for Sweden. Although Sweden is a member of the EU, the payments are supposed to be done officially is in kronas.

So far, joining the Eurozone with further transition to the single currency system is not being considered. One krona is subdivided into 100 ore coins. Ore has been discontinued, remaining only part of the formal mathematical financial accounting.

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.
