Important information about the old Swedish Krone notes
In a previous post we told you about the Swedish Krone banknotes being updated in October 2015. Today we want to give you important information about this process.
Goodbye to the old notes
On October 1, 2015 the National Bank of Sweden began issuing new banknotes of 20, 50, 200 and 1,000 Swedish krone. The 200 Krone was a new addition, since there was no edition in the previous series of banknotes.
The new notes of 20, 50 and 1,000 will be circulating with the old notes until the 30th June 2016. Until that time comes, in Sweden they may use either the old or new notes. The 100 and 500 Swedish Krone of the old series remain valid as yet not been issued new versions.
Important information about the change in Swedish Krone
However for reasons beyond Eurochange, from now we can not exchange 20, 50 and 1,000 Krone notes of the old series. We can only accept the new banknotes of these denominations. If you remember during these months are traveling to Sweden, you can buy Swedish Krone that you need at Eurochange and also exchange back any spare notes when you get back from your trip. Just remeber that they must be 20, 50 and 1,000 Krones of the new series.
When you make purchases try and make sure when you recieve change back that they are the new denominations or 100 and 500 krones which still remain valid.
What if you still have the old series notes?
The way to change notes that are no longer in circulation is to go directly to the National Bank of Sweden, fill out a form and there they change the note.
You can also request to change notes on the website of the National Bank of Sweden and send the notes by mail but this requires a bank identification number that only Swedish citizens have.
If none of these options is valid for you, you can contact the Swedish Consulate in Spain, maybe there they can find out about how to make the process.
