Sometimes good luck happens, but you don't realize until later. When David and the kids were at
Ledreborg Palace event they bought some treats. David tried to pay with what he thought was a regular 20 kr. piece, but the person told him it was not a valid coin. He wondered who had given it to him as change, but found a different way to pay. The next day we looked up the coin and not only is it legal currency, it is one in a million coins made to honor the 1000 anniversary of the minting of the first Danish coin. The Royal Danish Mint has a little more information
here.
Throughout the year we have been collecting commemorative coins, with the help of a
kind teller at the bank, but David has had great luck getting coins as change. At the end of the day A. and I ask to see to his change in hopes of finding a treasure. Recently he had the newest 10 kr. coin, which has a new portrait of the queen and a smaller coat of arms. A description of the details and pictures of the older ones can be seen a
The National Bank website.
A
new 1000 kr. note was issued this week, but we don't expect to collect one of those since they are worth almost $200.
