50-krona and 1,000-krona banknotes without a foil strip became invalid after 31 December 2013
After 31 December 2013, you are no longer able to pay with the older versions of the 50-krona and 1,000-krona banknotes that do not have foil strips. The reason these notes are no longer legal tender is that the Riksbank wishes to reduce the number of banknotes and different versions of banknotes prior to the introduction of the new series of banknotes and coins, which will start in 2015.
28 February is the last day that the banks can redeem the notes
Until 28 February 2014 you will still be able to deposit the invalid banknotes in a bank account. After 28 February 2014 the Riksbank can redeem the invalid banknotes, for an administration fee of SEK 100.
