Norwegian Kroner Banknotes & Coins We Accept

About Norwegian Kroner Exchange

The Norwegian Krone (NOK) is the official currency of Norway, one of Scandinavia’s most popular destinations for British travellers. We accept all denominations of Norwegian Krone banknotes and coins, including older series and damaged notes.

Current Norwegian Krone Banknotes

Norges Bank introduced a striking new series of banknotes between 2016 and 2019, featuring bold coastal and maritime themes that make them among the most distinctive in Europe. We accept all current denominations, including the 500 NOK note and the 1000 NOK note, as well as the smaller denominations from the same series. The notes incorporate advanced security features including holograms, colour-shifting ink, and intricate watermarks.

Old Series & Damaged Notes

Unlike most high street exchanges, we also buy withdrawn Norwegian Krone banknotes, including older designs such as the 1000 NOK note issued 1990 and the 50 NOK Peter Christian Asbjørnsen note. We accept notes that are torn, worn, or otherwise damaged, provided they are at least 50% intact. Rates for old or damaged notes are slightly lower than for current series, but we will always make you a fair offer where other exchanges simply turn you away.

Norwegian Krone Coins

We buy a full range of Norwegian Krone coins, including the 20 NOK coin and the 10 NOK coin, as well as smaller denominations such as the 5 NOK, 1 NOK, and 50 øre. Rates for coins are slightly lower than for banknotes due to the additional handling involved, but we are one of the few services that will take them at all. If you also have leftover Swedish Kronor or Danish Kroner from a Scandinavian trip, we can exchange those too.

Norwegian Krone Exchange FAQ

Does Norway still use the Krone, or has it switched to Euros?

Yes, Norway still uses the Norwegian Krone — it has not adopted the Euro and retains full monetary independence. This means current NOK banknotes and coins from a recent trip to Norway are fully exchangeable with us at our standard rates.

Can I exchange the older Norwegian Krone banknotes from before the 2016–2019 redesign?

Yes, we accept withdrawn Norwegian Krone banknotes from earlier series, including designs issued in the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s. The rate offered will be slightly lower than for current notes, but unlike most exchange services we won’t simply turn you away.

Do you accept Norwegian øre coins?

Yes, we accept the 50 øre coin, which is the smallest Norwegian coin denomination still exchangeable. Norway withdrew the 25 øre and smaller coins from circulation some years ago, so if you have any of those very small denominations, please contact us before sending and we can advise whether we are able to help.

How do I send my Norwegian Kroner to you, and how quickly will I be paid?

Simply box up your Norwegian Krone banknotes and coins and post them to us yourself — we recommend using a tracked service for your own peace of mind. Once we receive and verify your currency, we will pay you within 5 working days by bank transfer or PayPal. If for any reason you are not happy with our offer, we will return your currency to you free of charge.

I have a mix of Norwegian Kroner and other Scandinavian currencies — can you handle them all?

Yes! We also exchange Swedish Kronor, Danish Kroner, and Icelandic Krónur, so you can send everything together in one parcel. Each currency will be assessed separately at its own rate and paid out as a single total.
