About Norwegian Krone
The krone, plural kroner, is the currency of the Kingdom of Norway. It was traditionally known as the Norwegian crown in English; however, this has fallen out of common usage. It is nominally subdivided into 100 øre, although the last coins denominated in øre were withdrawn in 2012.
The krone was the thirteenth-most-traded currency in the world by value in April 2010, down three positions from 2007.
It is considered to be one of the world's G10 currencies, a group of the most traded currencies in the world.
The Norwegian krone is also informally accepted in many shops in Sweden and Finland that are close to the Norwegian border, and also in some shops in the Danish ferry ports of Hirtshals and Frederikshavn. Norwegians spent 14.1 billion NOK on border shopping in 2015 compared to 10.5 billion NOK spent in 2010. Border shopping is a fairly common practice amongst Norwegians, though it is seldom done on impulse. Money is spent mainly on food articles, alcohol, and tobacco, in that order, usually in bulk or large quantities. This is due to considerably higher taxes and fees on tobacco and alcohol purchased domestically in Norway. WikipediaAbout Czech Koruna
The koruna, or crown, has been the currency of the Czech Republic since 1993. The koruna is one of the European Union's seven currencies, and the Czech Republic is legally bound to adopt the euro in the future.
The official name in Czech is koruna česká. The ISO 4217 code is CZK and the local acronym is Kč, which is placed after the numeric value or sometimes before it. One crown is made up of 100 hellers, but hellers have now been withdrawn from circulation, and the smallest unit of physical currency is 1 Kč. Wikipedia
