New 1,000 Norwegian Krone note

In November 2019, the Central Bank of Norway has put into circulation the last note that was still to be updated, the new note of 1,000 Norwegian Krone. With this note, the process of renewal of the Norwegian Krone that began in 2017 ends.

The old notes of 1,000 Norwegian Krone will remain valid until their withdrawal in November 2020. The other denominations of the old series have already been withdrawn, so they have no legal validity.

More information about the currency of Norway, its notes and the history of this currency.

 

How to change banknotes out of circulation?

Banknotes out of circulation of any currency can only be exchanged at the issuing bank, which is usually the Central Bank of the country.

Sometimes there are deadlines to change old bills and, although it is not usual, some charge a small fee for making the change.

It is best that you look for the information on the website of the country's Central Bank.

The Australian Dollar

Australian Dollar information

Australian Dollar

The Australian Dollar is the official currency of Australia, the Christmas Islands, Coco Islands, Norfolk Island and the independent Pacific Island states: Nauru, Tuvalu and Kiribati Islands. Its ISO 4217 code is AUD and although its symbol is the dollar sign "$" is often represented preceded by an A "A$" (Australian Dollar) to differentiate it from other types dollars.

History

The Australian Dollar was introduced in 1966. Until then the legal currency was the Australian Pound. The first Dollar banknotes were 1, 2, 5, 10 and 20 dollars. Years later 50 and 100 notes were included and the 1 and 2 notes were replaced for coins. The issue of the Australian Dollar is regulated by the Reserve Bank of Australia and coins by the Royal Australian Mint.

Banknotes and coins

Australian Dollar banknotes legal tender are of 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 dollars. Between 1992 and 1996 the printed cotton paper banknotes were replaced by polymer, so the dollars in circulation today are made of the more durable and harder to fake material.

The Australian Dollar has 8 coins: 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 cents and 1 and $ 2. They are represented elements of nature and tradition and Australian culture.

Visit the pages of the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Royal Australian Mint to familiarize yourself with the notes and coins before the trip.
