Danish Krone

The krone (Danish: [ˈkʰʁoːnə]; plural: kroner; sign: kr.; code: DKK) is the official currency of the Kingdom of Denmark (comprising Denmark, Greenland, and the Faroe Islands), introduced on 1 January 1875. Both the ISO code "DKK" and currency sign "kr." are in common use; the former precedes the value, the latter in some contexts follows it. The currency is sometimes referred to as the Danish crown in English, since krone literally means crown. Krone coins have been minted in Denmark since the 17th century. One krone is subdivided into 100 øre (Danish pronunciation: [ˈøːɐ]; singular and plural), the name øre is probably derived from the Latin word for gold. Altogether there are ten denominations of the krone, with the smallest being the 50 øre coin (one half of a krone). Formerly there were more øre coins, but those were discontinued due to inflation. The krone is pegged to the euro via the ERM II, the European Union's exchange rate mechanism. Adoption of the euro is favoured by some of the major political parties; however, a 2000 referendum on joining the eurozone was defeated with 53.2% voting to maintain the krone and 46.8% voting to join the eurozone.

Chilean Peso

The peso is the currency of Chile. The current peso has circulated since 1975, with a previous version circulating between 1817 and 1960. Its symbol is defined as a letter S with either one or two vertical bars superimposed prefixing the amount, $ or ; the single-bar symbol, available in most modern text systems, is almost always used. Both of these symbols are used by many currencies, most notably the United States dollar, and may be ambiguous without clarification, such as CLP$ or US$. The ISO 4217 code for the present peso is CLP. It was divided into 100 centavos until this subdivision was eliminated by law effective 1 January 1984, after inflation had rendered the centavo valueless, requiring accounts to be kept in whole pesos thereafter. As of July 2026, the Chilean peso traded at around CLP 930 per U.S. dollar. The current peso was introduced on 29 September 1975 by decree 1,123, replacing the escudo at a rate of 1 peso for 1,000 escudos. The currency is issued by the Central Bank of Chile, founded in 1925 and made responsible for monetary policy and control of the money supply, and produced by the Casa de Moneda de Chile (the Chilean mint), which traces its origin to a royal charter (Real Cédula) issued by King Philip V of Spain on 1 October 1743 authorizing a mint in Santiago.
