The inflation were increasing and in 1960 a 5 Krone coin was replacing
the 5 Krone bank note. The 5 Krone coin was the beginning of a new series
of coins.
It was the idea to return with the coppercoins for the low values,
because Denmark became richer during the 1950's
During the first years of the 1960's the Royal Mint was coining 5,
2, and 1 Øre of copper. The production of the 2 and 1 Øre stopped in
1966, because the inflation had made the production of these small values
too expensive. The 2 and 1 Øre have never been issued for cirkulation.
The hole in the center of the 25 Øre returned in 1966. It was difficult
for some people to see, if it was a 25 Øre or a 1 Krone coin, they had
in their purse.
