Scandinavian banknotes

2 posts • viewed 100 times
I am corona stranded, so I am adding banknotes here - started with Scandinavia.
I have some questions/comments:
One of the dropdown are 'Ruling authority', when I use it I get a list of Danish kings and queens (same thing for Norway), but Denmark have had democracy since 1849, so it is the Parlament (Folketinget) that is the Ruling authority. Before 1849 the king was the ruler, and up to then it makes sense having him as the ruling authority. Norway have had their parliamentary system since 1905.
When I want to select currency for The Faeroe Islands, I can choose Faeroe Krónur, but The Faroe Islands do not have a National Bank, as they are a part of Denmark, and the Danish National Bank Issues the Faroe money, so they are Danish Kroner issued for The Faeroe Islands with another banknote. So in my opinion Faeroe Krónur should not be an option as a currency. It makes sense having The Faeroe Islands as Issuing authority, so they are different from the Danish banknotes.
The top text on Iceland says that Iceland became independent in 1918, that is not correct. Iceland was a colony until 1918, then they entered into union with Denmark until 1944. In 1944 they became fully independent .

I have too much time on my hand, so sorry about all this. Please ignore if it irrelevant .
I read on Wiki : The Faroe Islands uses a localized, non-independent version of the Danish krone, known as the Faroese krónapegged with the Danish krone at par, using the Danish coin series, but have their own series of distinct banknotes, first being issued in the 1950s and later modernized in the 1970s and the 2000s.

I have a 1 krone Faroe Banknote from 1940?

I agree with what you write.
