While the Faroe Islands are also a dependency of Denmark, they have a separate currency called the Faroese Krona that is on a one to one parity with the Danish krone. The plural form is "kroner" and one krone is divided into 100 %D8re, singular and plural. The ISO 4217 code is DKK. The krone was introduced as legal tender in Denmark in 1873, and was a result of the Scandinavian Monetary Union, which lasted until World War I. The initial parties to the monetary union were the Scandinavian countries of Sweden and Denmark, with Norway joining two years later. The name of the common currency was the "krone" in Denmark and Norway, and the "Swedish Krona" in Sweden, which literally means "crown" in English language. After the dissolution of the monetary union Denmark, Norway, and Sweden all decided to keep the name of their respective and now separate currencies. Denmark negotiated special "opt-outs" of the Maastricht Treaty that allowed the country to preserve the krone while the majority of the European Union adopted a common currency known as the Euro in 1999. A referendum held in 2000 reconfirmed the population's attachment to the krone. As of 2004, the Liberal Party (Denmark) government of Anders Fogh Rasmussen was planning on holding another referendum on the adoption of the euro in the near future. The krone is closely pegged to the euro via the European Exchange Rate Mechanism, the European Union's exchange rate mechanism. Before the advent of the euro, the krone was linked to the Deutsche Mark, thus keeping the krone stable at all times. ==External links== * [http://www.nationalbanken.dk/dnuk/specialdocuments.nsf Danmarks Nationalbank]
