Danes
are changing from the cash-oriented society to plastic- cards; that is
their own 'Dankort'. This card can be used everywhere, and the same places
also accept Visa and MasterCard (most places).
Look
for the sign 'Dankort Automat' - they take Visa(ATM
Locator), Plus, MasterCard/Eurocard and Cirrus,
and maybe JCB (not AmEx).
Machines
are open 24h though some are closed at night. You can withdraw up to 2000DKR
(~350$) per day. If you need more money, go to another ATM. You should
note that it's easy to find VISA/MC/Cirrus ATM's in central Copenhagen.
However in suburbs or smaller villages you possibly only find Dankort
accepting machines. Banks should accept cash payment on cards at banking
hours.
For more information you can call Dankort at int+ 45 44 89 29 29
Diners: try the SAS office.

Cards :
Visa and MasterCard.
(see also ATM) In restaurants and Gas-stations you can also use a variety
of others (Diners, Eurocard etc.) The national card Dankort is very widely
accepted for almost any payment. However this means that MasterCard and
VISA acceptance is limited to tourist-geared businesses, hotels, better
restaurants, and up-scale shops. I have not seen any supermarkets that
accept VISA or MasterCard, like in Sweden, UK or France.
Banks
almost have the monopoly of changing money, so the rates are quite fixed.If
you need it, there is a Change office, Main Railway Station, open 7.00-22.00
h summer, 7.00-21.00 h winter. The ticket sale at the boats to Malmo (Havnegade
street) are probably open even later for northern European currencies.
Can be cashed
in banks and major hotels. The cheapest way to get local currency is by
using 'PostCheques', which can be obtained in most countries outside America.
There is an AmEx office in Copenhagen.
