Denmark negotiated a number of opt-out clauses from the Maastricht treaty after it had been rejected in a first referendum. On 28 September 2000, another referendum was held in Denmark regarding the euro resulting in a 53.2% vote against joining. However, Danish politicians have suggested that debate on abolishing the four opt-out clauses may possibly be re-opened. In addition, Denmark has pegged its krone to the euro (€1 = DKr7.460,38 ± 2.25%) as the krone remains in the ERM. As a consequence, at present Denmark has no concrete plans to join the eurozone, and therefore no design either eixists or is likely to be forthcoming for Danish euro coins. Any potential design would likely be similar to the designs of the current Danish coinage, as has happened in other countries.
