The term “øre ” (plural “øre”) refers to the centesimal subdivision of the Norwegian krone (NOK). One Norwegian Krone is equal to 100 øre. Although the øre is still used for quoting prices and calculations, it’s important to note that øre coins are no longer in circulation . The last øre coin, the 50-øre coin, was withdrawn from circulation in 2012.
Therefore, while you might still see prices quoted with øre (like 9.50 NOK), if you pay with cash in Norway, the amount will be rounded to the nearest whole krone, as there are no smaller coins for change. However, if you use a debit or credit card, you will be charged the exact amount.
