Changed capitalization within article. This word is not normally capitalized on domain:is sites or anywhere else, except in circumstances where a word like "Dollar" or "Pound" would be capitalized.
I think the article should be moved to "Icelandic króna" as well; supposedly all the old links would still work in this case, changing only which ones go directly to the article and which ones are redirected. Is it normal to try to make all of them direct when making a change like this? Gene Nygaard 14:13, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Under Currency Issues it seemed a little odd to say that tourists would "have little need or desire" for Icelandic currency, both because surely one still needs coins for some machines (you need coins to ride the bus, or buy a Coke from a machine, or do laundry), and because it doesn't seem the article's writers can really know whether a tourist will desire local currency or not; surely some visitors to any country prefer to use local currency simply as part of getting to know the place they're visiting, just as surely as others prefer not to.

Somehow I thought that the old krónar was ISC, but the article says ISJ. Dose anyone have a reference? -- Steinninn talk 16:40, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
I thought it was ISK? -- unsigned
1) Is the point being made that the highest-denomination banknote with equivalent value of $35 is much lower than expected? It doesn't seem that way to me; in the UK the highest-denomination note in common use is only £20 (there is a £50 note, but you rarely see them used in everyday transactions).
2) A mid-range dinner for two costing the equivalent of $35 does not seem excessively high as the article seems to be making out. That is only about £10 each in UK money, which is by no means an excessive amount to pay for dinner in a restaurant.
I know that the recent collapse in the currency will impact all these conversion rates and comparisons, but as written this text does not really seem to make sense. 86.152.243.147 ( talk) 20:44, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
I will remove the sentence about the krona having resumed trading, because, apart from that one 240 rate quote that a couple of newspapers seem to be quoting, I can find no hard evidence that the krona is being traded, at least not officially. The ECB [1] still has its rate frozen at 305, and I can find no real evidence of trading on the usual news sources. Passportguy ( talk) 11:35, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
"The króna later fell to 340 against the euro before trade in the currency was suspended[6] (by comparison, the rate at the start of 2008 was about 90 krónur to the euro" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.8.93.34 ( talk) 17:03, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
There are regular claims that the ISK suffered from hyperinflation, but I can not find any verifiable sources to that. By looking through changes in CPI as maintained by Statistics Iceland I find that monthly inflation has never been close to 50% and only seldom passed 10%. [5] As it is I've changed "hyperinflation" for "high inflation". If it's changed back some references would be welcome.

I stumbled across this article and saw rows of red circles put in my myWOT. I investigated and banknote.ws seems to be part of the zeus botnet so we really need a new source of the images -- Liiiink ( talk) 01:29, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

I've returned the referenced claim that "Iceland is the smallest country to have its own currency and monetary policy", but I'm also sympathetic to Stidmatt's view that this it not true. I say, let's fight sources with sources. Can anyone find a reliable source that directly contradicts this? The sources here are reliable (specifically the third one which is the only one that says monetary policy), but we could do better. I imagine this sort of question has been dealt with in textbooks and academic literature. I'd like this to be resolved so that at the end of the day one of our currency articles it's the smallest. – Finnusertop ( talk ⋅ contribs) 12:13, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
I would suggest this needs more research. The claim would seem to be obsolete. A check of the Wikipedia articles concerned would indicate that Samoa (population 195,843, currency Samoan tālā regulated by Central Bank of Samoa), Vanuatu (population 272,459, currency Vatu, regulated by the Reserve Bank of Vanuatu) are both smaller population than Iceland, with their own monetary policies, and both floating against world curremcies. Tonga (population 100,651, currency Pa'anga, controlled by National Reserve Bank of Tonga), may not qualify, being non-convertible and pegged to a basket of other currencies - I'm not sure. Ditto Barbados (population 277,821, currency Barbadian Dollar, regulated by Central Bank of Barbados) - since it is pegged to the USD. But as far as I can see, Seychelles would be smallest by population, Samoa second, Vanuatu third, and Iceland 4th, assuming the Tonga and Barbados don't qualify. There may be others. I guess it may depend on what is meant by monetary policy? Or are the sources out of date? Ptilinopus ( talk) 06:20, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
None of the image columns in the coins table show any images. The banknotes table doesn't have image columns in the first place. Shouldn't the image columns in the coins table be removed? JIP | Talk 00:49, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
