Revision as of 01:44, 1 April 2011
The theme of the notes is bridges from Denmark and ancient Danish artefacts found in the vicinity of the bridges. The Danish artist Karin Birgitte Lund was selected to design the 2009 series after a competition. It was her idea to include the artefacts on the reverse side, while the bridges were a mandatory competition rule.
The sizes of the 2009 bank notes are identical to the 1997 bank notes, in order to avoid refurbishing of the automated teller machines. The height is 72 millimetres and the lengths are from 125 mm to 165 mm, altering 10 mm for each new value.
