Buying Danish kroner: FAQs
What is the Danish krone?
The Danish krone is the official currency of Denmark. When you talk about multiple krone it becomes kroner. Its currency code is DKK, and its symbol is kr or Dkr. The currency is issued by Denmark’s central bank, Danmarks Nationalbank. Common denominations include the 50- or 100-kroner banknote, and coins of 10 or 20 kroner. Krone, which translates as ‘crown’, is used across Nordic nations.
Can I sell my unused Danish kroner?
Yes, Sainsbury’s Bank offers currency buyback services – just visit one of our bureaux to sell your notes back to us. Transfer Danish kroner to pounds with Sainsbury’s Bank today.
Can I use euros in Denmark?
While the Danish krone is the official currency of Denmark, you may be able to pay with euros in some bigger cities. However, businesses are not required by law to accept euros as tender in Denmark.
Should I take cash to Denmark?
When you’re travelling abroad, it can be worthwhile to carry a mixture of cash and digital currency. Smaller vendors may not accept card payments, while unexpected technical issues could leave you unable to pay by card.
Can I use my UK debit card in Denmark?
Yes, your UK-issued debit card should work in Denmark. However, using your card abroad can incur additional fees. Try a Sainsbury’s Travel Money Card™, so you can save money on spending abroad.
