Imohtep Valued Member Canada 321 Posts	Posted 04/08/2011 10:13 pm So I was searching rolls of canadian quarters tonight and came across this odd coin. I have no idea what country it's from. If you guys could help me with identifying the country, what would the equivelant canadian coin to this one, the date looks a little off...what are your opinions? are there any errors to be noticed?

Sap Moderator Australia 16805 Posts	Posted 04/09/2011 06:40 am Norway is not in the Eurozone so the Norwegian krone is still in use, though the design has changed since this one was issued. There are 100 ore to the krone with exchange rates currently 5.65 kroner to a Canadian dollar, or 1 krone equals about 18 cents. The smallest coin Norway currently has in circulation is the 50 ore (half a krone). Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
Litotes Pillar of the Community Norway 510 Posts	Posted 04/09/2011 07:56 am I can add that this krone is no longer legal tender. All but the latest design has been discontinued. Also, alas, it has no collectors value to speak of and is unlikely ever to achieve any in this moderate grade. Report this Post to the Staff

It may not be legal tender, or in great condition but to find a Norweagan coin from the 80's in a roll of canadian quarters in canada is pretty darn cool i'd say. Report this Post to the Staff

chrisild Pillar of the Community Germany 1238 Posts	Posted 04/09/2011 12:30 pm Right, of the current coins, the 50 øre and 5 kroner pieces say "Noreg" (the country name in Nynorsk) while the other three denominations (1 kr, 10 kr, 20 kr) have "Norge". That is the country name in the more common Bokmål. By the way, the Norwegian 50 øre coins will cease to be legal tender in about a year - on 1 May 2012. Christian Report this Post to the Staff
Litotes Pillar of the Community Norway 510 Posts	Posted 04/10/2011 05:09 am It is true that you can find both "Norge" and "Noreg". I hope no OFEC-collector is fooled by this. The coins are minted in the same place. The history behind "Nynorsk" is pretty absurd. The Swiss have four languages, but at least they can take comfort in that this will help them to be understood elsewhere. Nobody but Norwegians have the slightest use for nynorsk. In fact, norsk is usually understood by Danes and Swedes, both of which have much greater problems with nynorsk. Most of us would like to see it gone. Report this Post to the Staff
