On 24 May 2011 the 1000-krone banknote was issued as the fifth and last banknote in the new banknote series. The new series makes it even more difficult to counterfeit or copy genuine banknotes.
The banknotes have been designed by the artist Karin Birgitte Lund and have Danish bridges and prehistoric finds as their motifs. All Danish banknotes issued since the substitution of money in 1945 can be exchanged at face value at Danmarks Nationalbank.
The new banknote series is described in more detail on Danmarks Nationalbank's website, www.nationalbanken.dk, under "Notes and Coins".
Low numbers
The banknotes will have sequence no. A0xxxx. The sequence number is in the lower right-hand corner. The individual serial numbers of the banknotes are stated on the left-hand side just below the denomination.
It should be noted that the serial number is six digits followed by a letter. While several banknotes will have the same combination of digits, the end letter will vary, making the serial number unique.
The serial numbers will indicate that the banknotes are from the first batch. It will not be possible to order specific numbers. The banknotes are distributed as orders are received. The banknotes are supplied in acid-free plastic pockets.
Last edition of old banknotes
In addition, 50-krone banknotes (sequence number B607xx - sold out), 100-krone banknotes (sequence number D308xx - sold out), 200-krone banknotes (sequence number C408xx - sold out), 500-krone banknotes (sequence number B808xx) and 1000-krone (sequence number B306xx) of the last edition of the current series can be ordered.
Sold at nominal value
Both new and old banknotes will be sold at face value. To cover the considerable administration involved a handling fee of DKK 200 including VAT will be charged per 10 banknotes - in the same way as for sales of Faroese banknotes.
Orders are limited to a maximum of 10 banknotes, but may contain a combination of banknotes from the old and the new series. |
