DKK to USD over the last 30 days

Over the 23 ECB working days from 2 Sept 2026 to 2 Oct 2026, 1 DKK ranged from 0.1502 USD (2 Oct 2026) to 0.1559 USD (9 Sept 2026), averaging 0.1537. Today's 0.1502 is below that average by 2.27%.

For 1,000 DKK, that range is the difference between 150.20 and 155.88 USD: 5.69 USD, or 3.79% of the low. The biggest one-day move was -0.62% on 2 Oct 2026.

Example: a bank or card that sets its rate 3% worse than mid-market would pay 145.69 USD for 1,000 DKK today instead of 150.20, keeping 4.51 USD. This rate moved more than 3% within the month, so timing mattered as much as the margin.

Who converts DKK to USD, and why

Danish kroner to dollars is used by visitors returning from Copenhagen, Americans working for Danish companies such as shipping and pharmaceutical firms, and Danes buying from US stores.

• Converting a Danish salary or bonus to a US account
• Checking a US purchase from a Danish card
• Changing leftover kroner after a trip to Denmark or Greenland

Tip: Because the krone is pegged to the euro, DKK to USD moves almost exactly like EUR to USD. If you are converting both euros and kroner, one decision on timing covers both.

About the two currencies

The Danish Krone (DKK) is issued by Danmarks Nationalbank and used in Denmark, Greenland and the Faroe Islands (which print their own krone notes at par). The krone is pegged to the euro in ERM II at a central rate of 7.46038 kroner per euro, so DKK moves almost exactly with EUR against every other currency.

The United States Dollar (USD) is issued by the Federal Reserve and used in the United States and its territories, and also Ecuador, El Salvador, Panama (alongside the balboa), Timor-Leste, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Palau and several Caribbean territories. It is the world's main reserve and invoicing currency: oil, most commodities and a large share of world trade are priced in dollars, which is why so many cross rates are worked out through it.
