There are two equal currencies in the Faroe Islands; the Faroese krone (FOK) and the Danish krone (DKK). The Faroese goverment prints its own banknotes, but only Danish coins are used. Both Faroese and Danish notes are equally accepted all over. It’s not commonly accepted to use other currencies than FOK and DKK as fiat money in the Faroe Islands. Therefore credit cards are the obvious choice for turists here. Either VISA, MasterCard, Eurocard, Maestro and JCB is accepted in most shops, restaurants, hotels, etc., but be aware that American Express is more rarely accepted. It’s also possible to withdraw fiat money from one of the many ATMs around the Faroe Islands.
