Øre

Øre (disebut UH-reh) ialah satu perseratus bahagian unit mata-mata wang krone Norway, krone Denmark, krona Sweden dan króna Iceland. Øre merupakan ejaan bahasa Norway dan bahasa Denmark, manakala:

• dalam bahasa Sweden, ia dieja sebagai öre;
• dalam bahasa Faroese, ejaannya oyra (jamak: oyru(r)); dan
• dalam bahasa Iceland, ejaannya eyrir (jamak aurar).

Bentuk jamak sama sahaja dengan bentuk mufrad dalam bahasa Sweden, Norway, dan Denmark.

Since 1993, the only Norwegian coin in use with a nominal value below 1 NOK is the 50 øre coin. (The 10 øre coin was announced deprecated at 23 February 1992 and deemed obsolete one year after that.) See the article about the Norwegian krone for more information.

Since 1989, the two Danish coins in use with a nominal value below 1 DKK are the 50 øre and 25 øre coins. The latter, however, has been abolished as legal tender as of October 1, 2008. See the article about the Danish krone for more information. As of 1 October 2003, Icelandic banks no longer accept the 5, 10 and 50 aurar coins.

The name derives from the Latin aureus (gold), the name of a coin worth 25 denarii.
