Greenland is the largest island in the world and is a part of Denmark. It's capital is Nuuk (Godthab). Although Greenland had been colonized by Denmark since the 18th Century, it officially became part of Denmark in 1953. It Joined the EU with Denmark in 1973 but withdrew in 1985 over fishing quotas. Greenland was granted self government in 1980 but Denmark still retains control of it's foreign affairs.
Monetary unit: 1 krone = 100 ore.
OK! this is cheating a wee bit!! the scan above is not of a Greenland note but of a Trade certificate. I've seen a few Greenland notes for sale on eBay but they generally sell for hundreds of pounds so i have to make do with the Trade certificate !!
