SEK weakening 2008-2009

This section is wrong

" but from the second half 2008, the value of the krona has declined by around 20%, and had been oscillating between 10.4–11 SEK per EUR into the first half of 2009.[citation needed] The primary reason for its declining value lies with the Riksbank, which has significantly lowered the interest rate, and has not acted to defend the exchange rate yet.[citation "

The primary reason was the global fincancial crise which made investors sell smaller currencies like SEK and NOK in favour of major currencies, sk "safe-havens" NOK saw a similar weakening without lower rates. SEK Rates are much lower now than in 2008, still the SEK is much stronger now — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.255.43.133 (talk) 08:52, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

Ören

The article says "The plural form is kronor and one krona is divided into 100 öre (singular and plural, if not preceded by a number the plural becomes ören)." I've lived in Sweden my entire life and have never seen or heard this usage. Who says "femtio ören" rather than "femtio öre"? This must be archaic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.237.196.175 (talk) 13:57, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

I've removed this reference. What must have been meant is that the definite plural (the plural form for "the öre") is ören but, as we don't give the definite singular (öret), there's no need to give the definite plural.

Well, it's "100 öre", but in some cases you use "ören" (cf. "kronor och ören", "några öre(n)" and so on).

It said "if not preceded by a number the plural becomes ören" but in your example it was preceded by a number. So the example isn't valid.

No, no, that's "örena"! See, for example, [1] where the plural "ören" is used. (Stefan2 18:27, 12 July 2007 (UTC))

And on the coin tubes that stores get from the bank it says "50-ören". Ören is right as said above. / SK

50 öre is an amount of money. A 50 öre coin traditionally is called "50-öring". A tube of coins should be labeled "50-öringar", but maybe some bank found that not strict style enough, since "50-öringar" is somewhat of child language, its the childrens type of money. Google gives 407 hits for "50-ören" and 1160 hits for "50-öringar". -- 81.230.2.149 (talk) 20:33, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
