| Comments |
Danish "school money" — skole penge — was produced specifically for classroom use in economics and arithmetic lessons, not for any form of actual monetary exchange. These instructional notes were issued by the Danish Ministry of Education and deliberately printed to resemble genuine Nationalbank currency closely enough to be pedagogically useful, while remaining legally distinct from it.
The series ran through the late 1950s and into the early 1960s, a period when formal consumer economics was being introduced into Danish primary curricula. Surviving examples in clean condition are harder to find than their non-circulating status might suggest — schoolroom wear is unforgiving.
