The krone (plural: kroner; sign: ,- or kr.; code: DKK) has been the official currency of Denmark, Greenland and the Faroe Islands, since 1 January 1875. Both the ISO code "DKK" and currency sign "kr." are in common use; the former precedes the value, the latter usually follows it. The currency is sometimes referred to as the "Danish crown" in English (since krone literally means crown in Danish). One krone is subdivided into 100 øre (from the Latin aureus^{[citation needed]}).

The krone is pegged to the euro via the ERM II, the European Union's exchange rate mechanism.

The first actual organised coinage was created by Knud den Store (Canute the Great) in the 1020s. Lund was the principal minting place and one of Denmark's most important cities in the Middle Ages, but coins were also minted in Roskilde, Slagelse, Odense, Aalborg, Århus, Viborg, Ribe, Ørbæk and Hedeby. For almost 1,000 years, Danish kings – with a few exceptions – have issued coins with their name, monogram and/or portrait.

The coinage was based on silver, but to give the kings – and thus the state – an easy source of income, the metal value was gradually reduced, and thus did not correspond to face value. In addition, taxes were sometimes imposed via the coinage, e.g. in connection with compulsory substitutions where the value of the new coins received did not match that of the old coins handed in.

Raden Nike Ratnadilla (27 December 1975 – 19 March 1995), commonly known as Nike Ardilla, was a rock singer popular within her home country who originated from Bandung in the West Javan province of Indonesia. Ardilla died in a car accident in Bandung at the age of 19 during what has been considered the zenith of her musical career. Known as a singer prodigy, Ardilla's name remains well-known throughout Indonesia and she still remains, to the present day, a musical performer, movie star and model with one of the most successful careers in the history of the Indonesian entertainment industry.

Nike Ardilla has been referred to as the "First Lady in the Indonesian Music Industry", a testament to the celebrity's continuing status.

Ardilla drove the return of teen pop Rock in the late '80s, more than any other artists of her time. Being not only are celebrity, she was a bona fide pop phenomenon and media fixture regardless of her humble backgrounds. Among female singers of the era, many of which followed her footsteps, she was known as the most influential. From the outset, Ardilla's general appeal was an important part of her image. Ardilla's debut album, titled Seberkas Sinar, was released in 1989. Once the ubiquitous lead single died down, the album kept spinning off hits: Number one single "Seberkas Sinar", the Top 10 ballad "Cinta Pertama", and the Top 5 "Tembang Asmara".
