PEI penny New Member Canada 22 Posts	Posted 01/23/2014 6:36 pm Spikey Norman... the 25 ore coins were removed and devalued from circulation in the late 1980s at the same time the 5 ore coins were done away with. When I was there in 1988, I didn't see any in circulation. Sadly, the last øre coins (50 øre) were removed from circulation last year I believe, so Norway no longer has any accepted øre coins in circulation or accepted. Smallest coin in use is the 1 krone, which is worth around 15c. Edited by PEI penny 01/23/2014 6:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff
chrisild Pillar of the Community Germany 1238 Posts	Posted 01/23/2014 6:51 pm Pretty normal for the Nordic countries. Norway did away with the 50 øre coin (about 9 Canadian cents) in spring 2012, Denmark still has one (about 10c). Sweden also has the 1 krona (17c) coin as the smallest piece, and in Finland it's the 5 cent coin (7½c) ... Christian Report this Post to the Staff
