Travel Money Trivia - NOK edition
- The word “Krone” translates to “crown” in English, a nod to Norway’s monarchy.
- The Norwegian Krone was introduced in 1875 as part of the Scandinavian Monetary Union. While the union dissolved in 1914, Norway retained the Krone.
- Norway is one of the few countries that still uses physical cash extensively, despite its advanced digital payment systems.
- In 2017, when Norway introduced its new series of banknotes, they were designed with some seriously modern and creative features. One of the coolest things about these notes is that they have "tilt-to-see" designs! When you tilt the notes, you’ll notice that some of them have designs that seem to change, thanks to their color-shifting ink. It’s like a mini magic trick every time you take a look!
