The currency of Denmark is the Danish krone, abbreviated as DKK. The krone has been the official currency since 1875 and is subdivided into 100 øre. Denmark is part of the European Union but has opted out of adopting the euro, allowing it to maintain the krone. The currency is symbolized by "kr" or "DKK" in international exchanges. The Danish kroner is known for its stability, and the country’s economic policies have helped maintain a robust economy in Scandinavia, making the krone widely accepted and valued.
