I saw a few stickers on cash registers last week with pictures of Swedish notes crossed out and a date of June 30th.A closer look showed the 20, 50, and 1000 kronor notes are being taken out of circulation in the next couple of months, replaced by newer, more secure versions. I'll admit I had completely missed this news.
Next year, the 100 and 500 kronor notes will be withdrawn, along with the coins.
I looked at my cash (as I said recently, Sweden is pretty cashless already) and found some old bills. I'll be spending them them in advance of the changeover!
