Economics
After falling in half from 1947 to the 1970s (around 10 percent to 5 percent), the share of currency in circulation - also called "cash" - has been relatively stable. It's actually been increasing since the Financial Crisis, but this is probably due to the United States shipping more currency to foreign countries who want to hold and use dollars. In any case, many people find the fact that cash hasn't disappeared in the electronic era with a lot of new forms of payment (like prepaid cards, Venmo/Zelle, etc.). What do you think are the most important reasons why cash is still being held and used today?

Although it is a member of the European Community, Denmark is not part of the
eurozone; it has its own currency, the krone. Because the krone is pegged to the
euro, Denmark's central bank is obliged to maintain the value of the krone within
2.25 percent either above or below the value of the euro. According to an article
in the Wall Street Journal,
in 2017, the Danish central bank was forced to intervene in foreign currency
markets "to keep the krone from strengthening too much."
If the krone was strengthening, did it take more kroner to exchange for a euro or
fewer kroner? Briefly explain.
More kroner, because the krone has more value.
Fewer kroner, because the krone has less value.
Fewer kroner, because the krone has more value.
More kroner, because the krone has less value.
