The Faroese króna does not have a ISO code simply because it does not really exist. Its not pegged to the danish currency it IS a danish currency, printet by the danish national bank. Only difference is in appearance of the notes where those used in Faroe Islands have faroes motifs and text.
[edit] Using the Faorese Króna in Denmark?
Would the Faroese Króna banknotes be acceptable in trade situations in Denmark? 惑乱 分からん 19:40, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
- I don't quite know how the law is but some shops don't mind, while others won't take it. It is always possible to go into a bank and get it replaced by danish banknotes - i think this is without charge. b.r. ℚuackor 10:02, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Currency
Why is this listed as a separate currency? It's just normal Danish crowns with a different set of banknotes, similar to how banks in Scotland and Northern Island produce their own GBP notes. So if "Faroese crown" is listed as a separate currency, it would also be necessary to list "Bank of Scotland pounds sterling", "Royal Bank of Scotland pounds sterling" etc. as separate currencies, because the difference between those bank notes and the Faroese ones is exactly the same.

- Good observation. This is one instance of a bigger problem. You seem like someone who's interested in currencies. Why don't you create an account and join Wikipedia:WikiProject Numismatics. I will start a discussion thread on this issue soon. --Chochopk 10:30, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

- Couldn't it simply be the fact, that it once was 'free' of the Danish krone, while AFAIK the Scottish £ never has been free from the English £? Mulder1982 00:47, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Images
Wouldn't this article benefit from images, such as the ones found at the Danish National Bank or Faroese Wikipedia. 惑乱 分からん 15:19, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
