Say Goodbye to the Smallest Danish Coin, the 25-Øre
The smallest denominated Danish coin, the 25-øre, will be removed from circulation on October 1, 2008. Denmark’s Minister for Economic and Business Affairs, Bendt Bendtsen, made the announcement today and was quoted as saying,
"Consumers will not notice a thing, apart from their pockets being lighter."
The coin is not only being eliminated from circulation, but after October 1, it will no longer be legal tender in Denmark. However, at least for a short time after, the coins may be cashed in at Danmarks Nationalbank.
