Greenlandic krone
The Greenlandic krone ((グリーンランド語:koruuni)) was a planned currency for Greenland. Currently, the Danish krone circulates. The Greenland krone was not intended to be an independent currency but a version of the Danish krone. Consequently, it was not intended to have its own ISO 4217 currency code, but to use the same ISO 4217 code as the Danish krone, which is DKK. Even if the currency was to have been adopted, the (regular) Danish krone would have continued to circulate separately.
==History==
As in Denmark, the krone replaced the rigsdaler in 1874 at a rate of 2 kroner = 1 rigsdaler. All issues of the krone in Greenland have been equivalent in value to the Danish krone. During the last part of the 19th century, while still a Danish colony, several mining companies operating in Greenland issued their own currencies. Distinct zinc currency was also introduced in the newly founded colony of Amassalik. Between 1926 and 1964, the Danish government's trade monopoly, ''Kongelig Grønlandske Handel'' (''Royal Greenlandic Trade'') introduced a series of distinct coins for use on Greenland. In 1944, the colonial administration issued a 5 kroner coin, using a similar design as the then-circulating 1 krone piece but produced at the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia. Although the colonies in Greenland were incorporated into Denmark by the 1953 change to the Danish constitution, the Greenlandic administration continued to issue its own banknotes until 1968.
In 2006, the government of Denmark and the home rule authority on Greenland announced that an agreement had been reached to produce a distinct Greenlandic version of the Danish krone (DKK) bills, a similar relationship as between the Faroese króna and the Danish krone. A bill to this effect was passed unanimously by the Danish parliament in May 2007.〔(Parliament of Denmark, 2006-2007 session, law no. 42 )〕 The bill specifies the nature of the new issue:
However, in a vote in mid-October 2009, Greenland decided not to introduce its own notes for now.〔http://www.icenews.is/index.php/2009/10/13/greenland-rejects-new-national-currency/〕
