ddr70-migration Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Sweden (and a select few countries) differs by its use of the Kronor (or crown) as a monetary unit. From Wikipedia "The crown is a monetary unit (currency) used in the countries of Czech Republic, Denmark (including the territory of Faroe Islands), Iceland, Norway and Sweden. It was formerly also used by Slovakia and Estonia until 2009 and 2011, respectively." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
