Cultural Insight
Michael: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight.
Inger: Øre also means “ear,” but when reading prices øre indicate the money. There is one hundred øre in one krone. The coin with the least value in circulation today, is one krone, but you will still pay the exact decimal amount when paying with a card. When paying in cash instead, prices are rounded down to the nearest number.
