"The króna (plural krónur) (sign: kr; code: ISK) is the currency of Iceland. The króna is technically subdivided into 100 aurar (singular eyrir), but in practice this subdivision is no longer used. The word króna, meaning crown, is related to that of other Nordic currencies (such as the Danish krone, Swedish krona and Norwegian krone) and to the Latin word corona (crown). The name Icelandic crown is sometimes used, for example in the financial markets. The Danish krone was introduced to Iceland in 1874, replacing the earlier Danish currency, the rigsdaler. In 1885, Iceland began issuing its own banknotes. The Icelandic króna separated from the Danish krone after the dissolution of the Scandinavian Monetary Union at the start of World War I and Icelandic autonomy from Denmark in 1918 . . . The first notes issued in 1885 by the Landssjóð Íslands were in
denominations of 5, 10 and 50 krónur. In 1904, the Bank of Iceland (Íslands Banki) took over note production and introduced 100 króna notes. In 1921, the Ríkissjóð Íslands began issuing paper money, with notes for 1, 5, 10 and 50 krónur. In 1929, another bank, the Landsbanki Íslands took over issuance of denominations of 5 krónur and above, with the Rikissjod Islands continuing to issue 1 króna notes until 1947. The Landsbanki Íslands introduced 500 króna notes in 1935, followed by 25 and 1000 króna notes in 1957. In 1961, the Seðlabanki Íslands became the central bank of Iceland and started issuing paper money, in denominations of 10, 25, 100, 500, 1000 and 5000 krónur. In 1981, the Icelandic króna was revalued, with 100 old krónur (ISJ) being worth 1 new króna (ISK). Icelandic banknotes are printed with the dates from which the legal basis of the currency derives. In 1981, notes were issued in denominations of 10, 50, 100 and 500 krónur on the law of 29 March 1961. 1000 krónur notes were introduced in 1984, followed by 5000 krónur notes in 1986 with the same law. 100, 500, and 1000 krónur were reissued in 1994 on the law of 5 May 1986. In the following year, a new denomination 2000 krónur was issued for the very first time. The 2000 króna note is subtly different from the other notes. For example, the underprint pattern extends all the way upward and downward, while the other denominations had white margins on every side. The Arabic numeral 2000 is printed in multi color on 3 of the 4 instances. And the numeral 2000 on the lower left corner of reverse is vertical. The 'shadow' of the numeral is printed with SÍ in microprint. The 22 May 2001 series saw more changes than mere date update. The underprint and microprint change of the 2000 króna note were incorporated. The 1000 and 5000 krónur notes also received metallic foils next to the portrait. Notes of 100 krónur or less no longer circulate, as they have been withdrawn by the central bank. As of 2006, the vast majority of banknotes in circulation are of the 500, 1000, and 5000 denominations (these generally being the only notes dispensed in ATMs, for example). 2000 króna notes exist but are unusual and are at times referred to as tourist money by the local population. Their use never became widespread. Iceland is not a member of the European Union and does not use the euro . . ." — Icelandic króna at Wikipedia
