How to Convert Kronas to Dollars
The country of Sweden uses the krona as its standard currency. Swedish for "crown," the krona pluralizes as kronor and divides into 100 ore. Krona coins in circulation today range from 50 ore to 10 kronor, while banknotes go up to 100 kronor. The conversion rate changes daily, so make sure that you use the latest figures when making your calculations.
