Currency

In September 2000 the Danes voted not to join the other European Union members in the Euro, and the currency is therefore still the Danish Krone (DKK), which is subdivided into 100 øre. Currently (17th of January 2008) 100 DKK corresponds to 20 USD and 13.43 EUR. Visa, Eurocard, Diners Club, American Express and MasterCard are widely accepted credit cards.

Climate and clothing

In September it is usually quite chilly in Denmark with temperatures ranging from 10 to 15°C. Warning for occasional showers.
