Finnish markka (Money of Finland)

The Finnish markka was the currency of Finland from 1860. The markka was introduced by the Bank of Finland. The name “markka” was based on a medieval unit of weight. Both “markka” and “penni” are loanwords based on the same roots as the German Mark and pfennig. Since 1 January 2002, Finnish markka ceased to be legal tender and had been replaced by the euro (€). The currency code used for the markka was FIM, and the usual familiar notation was the postfix mk. It was divided into 100 penniä (Finnish).
