Embrace the Icelandic Krona

The Saga of Iceland's Currency

Delve into the storied past of the Icelandic Krona, a currency as resilient as the island’s inhabitants.

First introduced in 1874, the ISK Iceland currency has weathered volcanic eruptions, economic shifts, and even the mighty Viking conquests to anchor Iceland’s modern economy.

Whether you're exploring Reykjavik or trekking across icy fjords, the Icelandic currency remains a vital part of every traveler’s adventure.

Icelandic notes and coins

Get acquainted with Icelandic Krona notes in denominations of 500, 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, and 10,000 ISK, each beautifully adorned with elements of Iceland’s stunning natural beauty and rich cultural heritage.
Coins, ranging from 1 to 100 krona, come in handy for everything from a cup of warming hot cocoa to purchasing local woolen goods. These practical and artistic designs ensure every krona is a tiny work of art.

Fun facts about ISK

Did you know Iceland is one of the few countries where cash transactions are rare?
Yet, the krona remains an integral symbol of national pride. The Iceland currency is one of the smallest independent currencies in the world, showcasing the country's unique independence.
The banknotes feature prominent Icelandic poets, explorers, and artists, while the coins reflect the vibrant marine life of Iceland, such as cod and crabs.

What is ISK?
ISK is the currency code for the Icelandic Króna, Iceland's official currency. The symbol is "kr" (or "íkr" within Iceland), and one króna divides into 100 aurar (though aurar are no longer in circulation).
The Icelandic Króna has been Iceland's currency since 1918 when Iceland gained sovereignty from Denmark. The name "króna" means "crown" in Icelandic.
Important: Iceland does NOT use the Euro — it has its own independent currency, the króna.

Travel Money NZ has stores across New Zealand where you can buy Icelandic Króna in person or order online for Click & Collect.
We offer competitive NZD to ISK rates, our Price Beat Guarantee, and the In Stock Promise — meaning we'll always have Icelandic Króna ready when you need it.

Tip: Since Iceland is mostly cashless, you'll need only a small amount of ISK for emergency backup.

Does Iceland use the Euro?
Should I bring cash or card to Iceland?
Bring a card as your PRIMARY payment method, and a small amount of ISK cash.
Iceland is one of the world's most cashless countries. Cards are accepted everywhere — restaurants, shops, gas stations, museums, taxis, vending machines, even public toilets.
What you need:
Chip & PIN credit/debit card (contactless preferred) — PRIMARY
5,000–10,000 ISK cash (NZD $50–100) — backup currency.
Backup card (in case primary has issues)
Notify your bank before traveling, ensure contactless is enabled, and you're set.
You'll use your card for 95% of transactions. The small amount of cash is purely for peace of mind.

No appointment needed — just walk in with your unused ISK and we'll convert it back to New Zealand Dollars on the spot.
