Swedish Kronor

Post by **B. Stinson** » Fri Jan 11, 2008 1:13 am

Can anyone tell me if EHM 2007 has the Swedish Kronor correct? Is it really supposed to come out as a :- symbol?

Personally, I immediately thought it was just a display bug, so I disappointingly avoided it and instead used the Euro while in Sweden. But I want to go back for the sake of realism, and am wondering if maybe it's supposed to be like that...?

Just for an example, the salaries look like this:

12 345 :- p/y

I think it's just called SEK, and has no symbol like the dollar, euro or pound. I might be wrong though.

I can safely say it's definately not the way you have it in EHM...

Edit: or maybe it is?

Its correct to write like that. We use either that symbol or write "kr".

Heh... I thought I should leave this one to the Swedes, which we have plenty at the forums, but felt like posting and ended up showing my ignorance... being neighbour country and all...

Cheers, Lidas!

It definitely looked like an error to me.

Yeah, that is correct. The :- symbol means that there's no pennies, or ören as we say in Sweden, just whole kronor.
In example if it should rea12 345 :50 instead it means that there's 50 öre as well.
A bit off topic but anyway: 1 krona=100 öre.

Or just join the Euro zone, so you get less for more money. Just like the rest of Europe. You do get a cool symbol € and can make cheap trips to the US.

No way, we're proud vikings and we are proud of our krona.

And we doesn't have any guys in Switzerland who is controling our economics.

Starting to get too off topic now I'm afraid.
