All banknotes of 1000 Danish kronor of old and recent types will become worthless as of 31 May 2026.

Their redemption can only be made in person at three branches of the firm Forex in Copenhagen, Aarhus and Odense. 

It is not possible to send them for redemption and from other points or from outside Denmark.

It is not possible to do it on behalf of a family or a friend. This is specially difficult for senior citizens and handicapped persons who cannot easily travel.

Amounts up to DKR5000 are reimbursed on the spot. Amounts up to 20,000 kroner are deposited to bank accounts.

Origin of funds documentation must be presented.

Danmarks Nationalbank does not provide the service in their offices.

More details may be found in the webpage of Danmarks Nationalbank

It is most notable that Danmarks Nationalbank makes it very difficult to redeem these notes for persons living far from Copenhagen, Aarhus, Odense and points outside Denmark.
