One Hundred Kronor
 |
| ND2016, P71c |
Front - This note basically honors the late Swedish born actress Greta Garbo (b.1905-1990). Greta Garbo was born in Stockholm and was named Greta Lovisa Gustafsson. At the young age of 20 years old, she went to Hollywood and became a premier star during Hollywood's silent movie eras. In 1951 she became a naturalised US citizen. In all, she acted in 34 movies and her Hollywood career started when she moved to the US in 1925. In total, she acted in 24 movies in the US from 1925 to 1941. It is surprising that her signature is not included in the design of the portrait.

Few years ago, it was reported that Sweden was moving towards a cashless society as banknotes and coins only represented 3% of the country's economy then. Is this still the case? Well, this is the third 100 Kronor printed since 2014. If the country was turning into a cashless society, then this is not showing it. This is the only prefix D sighted so far and I am not sure if other denominations are also reprinted.
