Kroonit

Kroonit refers to the former currencies of several European countries. Historically, the term "krona" and its variations like "krone," "kroon," and "kruna" were used in countries including Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Austria-Hungary, and Czechoslovakia. These currencies were often named after the crown, a symbol of royalty.

The Swedish krona (SEK) and the Danish krone (DKK) and Norwegian krone (NOK) are the most prominent examples of these currencies that remain in use today. They are distinct national currencies, although they share a common etymological root and historical context.

The Austrian krone (ATS) was in circulation from 1892 until 2002, when it was replaced by the euro. Similarly, the Czechoslovak koruna (CSK) ceased to exist after the dissolution of Czechoslovakia, with both the Czech Republic and Slovakia subsequently adopting their own national currencies, the Czech koruna (CZK) and the Slovak koruna (SKK) respectively, before the latter also transitioned to the euro.

The term "kroonit" itself is the plural form in Estonian, which also had a currency called the Estonian kroon (EEK) from 1992 until 2011, when it was replaced by the euro. Therefore, when discussing "kroonit," it is important to specify the country and the historical period or current status of the currency.
