Withdrawal of the 1000 Norwegian Krone banknote

Withdrawal of the one thousand Norwegian Krone banknote

In 2017 the Bank of Norway began a process of renewing its banknotes that ends on November 14, 2020 with the withdrawal of the 1000 Norwegian Krone banknote.

Note of 1000 Norwegian Kroner that will be withdrawn

What banknote will be withdrawn?

The banknote that will no longer be in circulation is the 1000 Norwegian Krone banknote on which the portrait of the Norwegian painter Edward Munch appears. This banknote belongs to series 7 and is the last one of this series that was still in circulation. Thus, from November 14, the only Norwegian Krone banknotes in circulation will be the ones of series 8.

How do I exchange my old Norwegian Kroner banknotes into Euros?

Old Norwegian Kroner banknotes can only be exchanged at the Central Bank of Norway. Once removed, they can no longer be exchanged anywhere outside the country.

That is why we notify you before the end of the withdrawal period for the 1000 Norwegian Krone note, so that you can go to your nearest office to exchange them for Euros.

Although the official withdrawal deadline is November 14, keep in mind that at the Eurochange offices we may stop accepting them a few days before. To date we do not have a confirmed date, so we recommend you to check your Norwegian Kroner banknotes and make the exchange as soon as possible.

What do I do if I have other older Norwegian Kroner banknotes?

As we told you above, banknotes that are out of circulation cannot be exchanged anywhere else than the Central Bank of Norway. Some of them can be exchanged for free and the older ones are exchanged for a fee of 250 Kroner (about 22 Euros).

You can check if your Norwegian Kroner banknotes are valid on our website. Or if you prefer, you can go to your nearest currency exchange office and there we will check your banknotes.

New banknotes in circulation: MXN, AUD y NOK

There are new banknotes in circulation.

In recent months several new banknotes have been put into circulation. We tell you how they are, what currencies and where you can find more information.

New note of 200 Mexican Pesos

In September 2019, the Central Bank of Mexico has started issuing a new 200 Mexican Pesos note. This new note has a different design from the previous one in which the historical legacy and the natural wealth of the country are reflected.

At the moment, several series of banknotes coexist and the Central Bank of Mexico will renew the ones that have still been issued from the G series: those of 20, 50, 100 and 1,000 Pesos.

In October 2019, the new 20 Australian Dollar note came into circulation. In this way, only the new 100 Australian Dollar note remains to be launched, which is scheduled to be launched in 2020.

At the moment all Australian Dollar notes of the old and new series are valid and can be used interchangeably.

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.

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.

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

For the time being, the new series of banknotes will coexist with the previous one for a period of approximately one year, since it is expected that old notes will be withdrawn in the last quarter of 2019.

So for currency exchanges and for use in Norway, both notes have the same validity.

No longer relevant characters of the country appear on the new banknotes. This new ones are dedicated to the sea and in them appear the Lighthouse of Utvær and the rescue boat RS 14 "Stavanger".

With the arrival of these new notes, there are already 4 of the new series that are in circulation: 50, 100, 200 and 500 Krone. Only the issuance of the 1,000 Krone note would remain to complete the renovation that is scheduled for the end of 2019.

These new banknotes have a new design with improvements in security measures to prevent counterfeiting.

The new design leaves behind the illustrious Norwegian characters of the previous series to replace them with iconic images of the country.

The other denominations of 50, 500 and 1000 Kroner will have the Utvaer Lighthouse, the rescue boat RS 14 "Stavanger" and the image of some waves in open sea respectively.

The Norwegian Krone

Norwegian Krone information

A few weeks ago we recomended a very attractive destination for your holidays: Norway. Now we want to talk a little more about its currency, its history, the exchange and the legal banknotes that are in circulation and you will use if you visit this beautiful country.

Introduction of the Krone

The Norwegian krone (in the plural, kroner, whose ISO 4217 code is NOK) was introduced in the nineteenth century specifically in 1875, replacing the Norwegian speciedaler at a rate of 4 kroner = 1 speciedaler. In doing so, Norway joined the Scandinavian Monetary Union, which had been established in 1873. The Union persisted until 1914 but, after its dissolution, Denmark, Norway and Sweden all decided to keep the names of their respective and now separate currencies.

Norwegian banknotes and coins

In Norway you can find banknotes of 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1000 Kroner and coins of 20, 10, 5 and 1 Krone. What we recommend is that you look at the page of the National Bank of Norway where you can see the colors and images that they use in each banknotes and coins. Here we leave the link to that you make yourself familiar with them: Norges bank

The rate of Norwegian Krone

In our web page Eurochange you can see the daily exchange rates for euro and Norwegian Krone. You will see that in our website there are both prices, the purchase price and sale price, the first you will have to apply it in case you have NOK and you want to get EUROS and the second in the event that you have EUROS to exchange to NOK.

For example, today September 02 2014, if you have 100 euros and you want to buy Norwegian kroner, you would get 833 NOK. If you had 300 euros we would give you 2500 NOK. You can use our converter to confirm what you would get with any amount.
