Wikipedia
The Danish euro referendum of September 28, 2000 was a referendum on whether Denmark should join the third stage of the European Monetary Union, adopting the euro as currency to replace the Danish krone. 87.6 % of eligible voters turned out, 46.8 % voting yes and 53.2 % voting no, thus rejecting the common currency.
Background
On June 2, 1992, Denmark rejected the Maastricht Treaty in a referendum. On May 18, 1993, Denmark ratified the treaty in accordance with the Edinburgh Agreement. This meant that, among three other areas, Denmark would not be part of the European Monetary Union. Thus, in March 2000, the Danish government led by Poul Nyrup Rasmussen decided to try and have Denmark enter the monetary union.Notes
