Cultural Insight
Sydney: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight.
Asger: The currency in Denmark is called the Danish crown, or simply kroner in Danish. There are six different coins and five different bills. The smallest coin is the halvtredsøre, "fifty øre." It is easy to recognize because it is made of tin bronze. The copper nickel coins with a hole in the middle are the one, two, and five crowns. Finally, the ten and twenty crown coins are made of aluminum bronze, making them look like gold.
