How to buy some islandic krona, before arriving?
 

With the low kronur, I would like to buy some, for a trip sometime next year, but as currency trading with Iceland is suspended in Denmark, this is not possible. Can you buy kronur on the internet somewhere ? Or order a kilogram or two in Iceland somewhere ;o)?

PS how many kronur do you get for a euro in Iceland these days ?

Hello
The Icelandic Krona has fallen a lot over the last two moths compared to other currencys .
As of today you will get 170-ISK for 1-Euro. One year ago it was 125-1
I think that free flow of money will be back on between Iceland and the rest of the world before the summer so getting ISK will not be a problem.
Iceland gets part of its income from tourists so to me it is stupid to make things harder for people to travel here.

Yes I know it probably will ease up before summer, but I would like to profit from the low, now, as it might change before summer.
Then again, the 170ISK to 1 euro isn't THAT amazing compared to 125.

The last I saw before it got suspended (and it still says that in banks etc.) was 313 ISK to 1 euro. Thats what got me started.
