  1. As others have said, you can exchange them at some banks. But if I were you I’d probably not worry about it and keep and collect them (if you have any interest in that).

  2. You cant use them in regular circulation. You can however exchange them at the bank for valid ones. (I think you can only exchange the top and middle ones, as these were the ones used before the new ones. The bottom one im guessing was before that again, not quite sure as i wasnt born yet).

  3. You will need to exhange them in the bank. As someone who works in retail we will not accept old bills. Im not sure if you can exhange the 500kr bill but the 100 and 200 will be no problem

  4. No, none of them. But i can take them back to the bank for you and get them shredded. 😁

    The 100 and 200 you can use, not the old 500.

  5. you can go to a Norwegian bank and hand in the old ones, and they’ll give you new ones… though I think you have to pay a fee.

  6. That bottom one is really old, you should keep it for a few decades so it becomes a collector’s item. Might get you a decent lump of money.

  7. I used two of them today ! Not all places like to resive them becouse they just want to take cards! But the banks said its legal payment !
    But in some stores you have to look at the signs : some say : card only , but often the next take cash

  8. All are suppose to work 10 years after they are removed from circulation. But stores dont have to accept them anymore.. So you might be lucky for the top 2(if you find a place that accepts them). The bottom one i dont think is worth anything anymore.

  9. No but you are able to go to a bank and then return them for the same amount in return with current currency

  10. You can do it for free at the National Bank. If that’s too much of a hassle you can exchange them at Forex Bank (Oslo Sentral Station). They take 20% of the amount though.

  11. Random question: I will be visiting Norway soon. Do need to exchange US dollars for local currency? Is it Euros or kroners?
