Svensk krona - Swedish Crown - SEK

100 SEK = ~7USD = ~9Euro

(average)

1SEK (1 krona/1kr) is 100 öre.

The swedish crown comes in the form of coins and notes (mynt and sedlar). Over the years we've had a lot of different coins and notes with different values, but right now, June 2010, we've got this;

Mynt - Coins

All coins has the value written on one side. The 5 crown has got a small crown, the current Kings initials and "SVERIGE XXXX" printed on the other side, XXXX standing for the year it was made.

The 1- and 10-crows has got a picture of the current King, his name, his royal motto and the year the coin was made. So on the Swedish coins you can read '*Carl XVI Gustaf - Sveriges Konung * XXXX' on the side with the picture, and 'För Sverige - I tiden' (meaning For Sweden - With the times) on the other side, with the value.

In 2000 they made a limited edition of the 1crown-coin called 'Millenniemyntet', which looks a little different from the other that came that year. But that 'limitied' edition was probably made with high limit, because you get them just as often as any other coins...

50-öre - but they are going away and from October -10 you won't be able to use them anymore.

1-krona - 1 crown silverish coin, 2,5 cm in diameter

5-krona - 5 crowns grey coin, 2,8cm in diameter

10-krona - 10 crowns goldish, 2 cm in diameter

Sedlar - Notes

All notes have different sizes, but all of them has an old Swedish celebrity on both sides.
