Denmark, Sweden and Great Britain are not part of the Euro-cooperation, which means that in Denmark the Danish crown is still the used currency. However, most restaurants and hotels allow you to pay with Euro. Personal checks from outside Denmark and traveller's checks are usually not accepted in most shops, but the banks will exchange Euro checks and official traveller's checks. Nevertheless most shops accept Euro and traveller's checks issued in Danish crowns, as well as credit cards like the Visa Card.
