Is my currency Still legal tender?

If the note came from the series pictured below, then you've missed the deadline to redeem it unfortunately.

Norges Bank will redeem them, however, in special cases. You can try applying. They will, however, take a NOK 250 processing fee.

If it has a picture of Sigrid Undset on it, it is a current note. If it shows Edvard Grieg, it ceased to be valid in November 2012. If it is actually dated 1996 it should be Grieg, and no longer valid. When they brought in the new designs, they gave people ten years to exchange the old ones - you have missed the deadline.

Only way to find out is to go to Norway and try to use it in one of their shops, if they accept it, you will be laughing, if they call the police, you will be crying in jail for using a forged bank note.

What is the big deal? It is only worth £50 anyways. Just take an extra £50 with you in case it turns out to be a dud. This is not a life threatening or major issue.

Probably not valid any more. You could take it with you and see if the Bank of Norway will exchange it for you.

I'm off to Norway in September and just happened to find a 500 kroner note. I looked up the value and it's £50gbp... The note is from 1996 so I'm not actually sure if it's still valid there... Does anybody know if it is or if there is a way to find out?
