Swedish Kronor

Can anyone tell me if EHM 2007 has the Swedish Kronor correct? Is it really supposed to come out as a :- symbol?

Personally, I immediately thought it was just a display bug, so I disappointingly avoided it and instead used the Euro while in Sweden. But I want to go back for the sake of realism, and am wondering if maybe it's supposed to be like that...?

Just for an example, the salaries look like this:

12 345 :- p/y

I think it's just called SEK, and has no symbol like the dollar, euro or pound. I might be wrong though.

I can safely say it's definately not the way you have it in EHM...

Edit: or maybe it is? :-?

Its correct to write like that. We use either that symbol or write "kr".

Heh... I thought I should leave this one to the Swedes, which we have plenty at the forums, but felt like posting and ended up showing my ignorance... being neighbour country and all... :-D

Cheers, Lidas!

It definitely looked like an error to me. :oops:

Yeah, that is correct. The :- symbol means that there's no pennies, or ören as we say in Sweden, just whole kronor.
In example if it should rea12 345 :50 instead it means that there's 50 öre as well.
A bit off topic but anyway: 1 krona=100 öre.

Or just join the Euro zone, so you get less for more money. Just like the rest of Europe. You do get a cool symbol € and can make cheap trips to the US. :-p

No way, we're proud vikings and we are proud of our krona. :-D
And we doesn't have any guys in Switzerland who is controling our economics. :-p
Starting to get too off topic now I'm afraid. :nerd:
