You have to have "Dankort" (cards issued in Denmark) and they charge 5% on every purchase if you use Visa or Mastercard that isn't issued in Denmark. It's a farmer community with all that entails. Just take a few crowns and skip that country as soon as you can. It'll be just fine. Plastic money is best everywhere else. Denmark is an exception. They're way behind. They like it like that.
