How to get the exchanged money

Companies will have the amount transferred to either the company’s Danish bank account or its foreign bank account.

Danmarks Nationalbank and FOREX do not charge a fee for exchanging the banknotes that will become invalid.

If the money is to be transferred to your bank account, Danmarks Nationalbank will pay the amount 1 to 1 in Danish kroner without charging a fee. However, be aware that in some cases your local bank may charge a fee for receiving the money, which is not covered by Danmarks Nationalbank. The amount received may therefore be minus any fees from your own bank.

When transferring to a foreign account, the amount will be converted to a currency other than Danish kroner, which may incur an exchange fee. The exchange fee is not covered by Danmarks Nationalbank.

Which banknotes can you exchange?

You can exchange banknotes that become invalid after 31 May 2025. You cannot exchange other banknotes or coins. Click on the link in the box below to see all the notes that can be exhanged.
