Öre

Öre (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈœ̂ːrɛ]) is the centesimal subdivision of the Swedish krona. In the Swedish language, the plural of öre is either öre (indefinite) or ören (definitive).

The name öre derives from the Latin word aereus/aurum, meaning gold. The corresponding subdivisions of the Norwegian and Danish krones are called øre.

Öre coins have been withdrawn since 2010, but the unit remains.
