Penge/Money
Dialogue 1
Side 24/Page 24
Here is a nice little video showing Danish bills. They feature Danish bridges and archeological artifacts on them. I like the video, too, because the presenter has a nice-sounding (and typical) Danish accent.

the Danish coins (mønt) and bills (sedler)

Extra Practice
Listen to this list of numbers in Danish and write them down. There are no long pauses in the audio so, if you need time to think about what you hear, you should hit the pause button after each number is spoken. Try writing the numerals, but also try writing the numbers as words (e.g. 51= enoghalvtreds).

Useful Phrases (although, since Denmark deals almost exclusively with e-pay and credit cards, some of this is becoming less useful! For tourists, though, cash can still be good to have. Most places accept Visa, and some accept other cards, but some places only accept "Dankort," a card you can not get unless you have a regular paying job in Denmark. So in that case, you must have cash).
Note that nogle is pronounced like nogen. (And the "g" is always silent).
