I tried to add the "Krone" template, but I had trouble to get it right, also I removed the 2kr, because that coin hasn't been used for decades.
I have a 1988 1 KR coin. The obverse has a profile image of Carl XVI Gustaf, but with a bizzare, oblong gap running down his face. At first I thought the gap was meant to be in the shape of Sweden, but it does not appear to be the case. Anyone know what it represents? Funnyhat 04:03, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
No, you're correct. Names of curriences should not be capitolized, except for the specific country name. You can go to WikiProject Numismatics to see other new and old guidelines. Thnx for your help :) Joe I 00:01, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
I have never seen a 2 krona, is it valid? That would probably require a source, as it would be very hard to believe for most Swedes. It hasn't been in regular circulation for many decades, and most young Swedes have probably never even seen one. / Grillo 15:28, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
I don't get this sentence: "It is not legal in Sweden to melt down coins that are legal tender, which is why they still are legal.". It seems to say that the coins are still valid because it's illegal to melt valid coins, but that doesn't make sense. Can anyone clarify? 85.228.175.118 ( talk) 23:48, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
What is the rationale for calling the 1000 kr bill rare? Where I live it is definitely used, not as much as the other bills but still much more than the 2 kr coin that the article also define as rare. Isn't it more stringent to call the 1000 bill frequent? -- Warfvinge 14:11, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
I concur with Warfvinge. I am not denying the value of the numbers in absolute quantity. It's just a different piece of information. Neither is "rubbish". -- Chochopk 15:46, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
About Swedish notes: 100 and 500 SEK notes, but no other denominations, are given by cash machines. 20 and 50 SEK notes are not given by cash machines, but are commonly given as change in shops. 1000 SEK notes are rarely used at all. You can exchange other notes for them at banks if you wish, and they are commonly given to people exchanging large amounts of foreign currency at exchange offices. If you pay large amounts of 1000 SEK or above, it seems to be more common to pay with lots of 500 SEK notes, although most people would pay using a card or bank transfer. The black market likes the 1000 SEK notes, though. ( 218.228.195.44 04:22, 6 November 2006 (UTC))
As working in a grocery store in Sweden I can say that it is not uncommon to get 1,000 SEK notes from costumers. And if I were to pay a large amount of money (like 5,000 or 10,000 SEK) I think I would have it in 1,000 SEK notes. There are bank offices as well, not only cash machines, and they are glad to help you. And got a 1,000 SEK note as a Christmas present three weeks ago, so don't say that they are uncommon. // Stora Kogha (user name on Swedish Wikipedia)
1000 SEK notes are very common when buying high priced items like cars. When withdrawing money in excess of 3-5k SEK from your bank the cashier will often give you 1000 SEK notes as part of the bundle unless you instruct otherwise. In short, anyone that has a job and doesn't live completely off plastic will use 1000 SEK bills semi-regularly. That does not qualify for rare in my world, but it's hard to tell what the definition of rare is in this discussion. // Sweanon
From 1958 to 1991 there was a 10.000 kronor banknote in circulation. Very rare, but still around. It is said that it was discontinued because it was the banknote with the highest value in the world. http://www.janeriks.no/Banknotes/scand/sw/P56.jpg —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 193.10.185.3 ( talk • contribs) 23:27, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Why do I think it is necessary to include it in the table even though BIL says it’s no longer legal. Ultimately, currency articles should contain information about all current as well as historical notes/coins. We're not there yet. But we're working toward it. Banknotes of the Romanian leu is one example. So when there are more data, the individual notes should be sectioned by series. Both the large and small 20 krona notes belong to the same (current) series. It certainly does not belong to the 1963-1986 series (Those are P50 ~ P56 at here). So both of them should be included in the current table. I also changed the wording to be accurate. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Chochopk ( talk • contribs) 08:52, 13 May 2007 (UTC).
"Notwithstanding this, on 2003-09-14, a consultative Swedish referendum was held on the euro, in which 56% of voters were opposed to the adoption of the currency, out of an overall turnout of approximately 80%(according to the BBC) [1]."
There's a link to a reference on the BBC. However, the link points nowhere. Maybe Valmyndigheten's website would be a better source? There it says that the overall turnout was 82.6%. ( Stefan2 19:43, 5 June 2007 (UTC))

When I was in Mariehamn in July this year, all shops, including main food supermarkets, indicated the price in crowns on all receipts I got. However, it was not entirely clear if they would all accept crowns or if they just mentioned an amount of crowns on the receipt so as to be helpful for Swedish tourists. On the other hand, it always seems to be cheaper to pay in euros, even if you need to convert crowns to euros before the purchase. ( Stefan2 ( talk) 09:07, 9 September 2011 (UTC))

Should we add that prices in Sweden are marked ofentimes with ":-" after the price number? Shandris the azylean 01:29, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
As you say Yenx, :- is a way of expressing that there are no öres in the sum. A sum of 50 öres can consequently be weitten as -:50 as it is also done sometimes. Today, the usage of the :- sign when there are öres in the sum is nothing but bad knowledge of the correct way of writing. You never see "big" stores like Åhléns write like that. // Stora Kogha
I sure hope such a thing won't be added to the article. ":-" means "an integer number" and nothing more. It isn't even specific to any individual currency. Prices in the now-obsolete Finnish markka used to be marked that way too in the early 1980s, leading me to think that ":-" was the international symbol for the markka. It didn't take me long to realise it simply meant "an integer number of markkas, with no added pennis". JIP | Talk 20:51, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
