Øre (pluraløre,Danish pronunciation:[ˈøːɐ],Norwegian pronunciation:[ˈø̀ːrə]) is the centesimal subdivision of theDanish andNorwegian krone. TheFaroese division is called theoyra, but is equal in value to the Danish coin. Before their discontinuation, the corresponding divisions of theSwedish krona and theIcelandic króna were theöre and theeyrir, respectively. The nameøre/öre derives from Latinaureus "golden".[1] As the languages began changing over the centuries,øre also came to meanear.
The Danish25 øre coin ceased to be legal tender on 1 October 2008.[2] The only Danish coin currently in use with a value below DKr 1 is the50 øre.

The Norwegian 10-øre coin was deprecated on 23 February 1992 and ceased to be legal tender in 1993. From then on, the only Norwegian coin in use with a value below NOK 1 was the 50-øre coin, which was also deprecated on 1 May 2012. The original value were the 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, and 50-øre coins.
The øre remains in use as of August 2025 on price tags and on the price signs atpetrol stations. If payment is done digitally, the price with the øre is kept unchanged. If payment is done with cash, the sellers are required to round up or down to the nearest krone.
