Sure. :)
- coin = mynt (pl. mynt)
- note = sedel (pl. sedlar)
Coins:
- the enkrona is the smallest denomination, one crown
- the tvåkrona is the second smallest coin, two crowns; no common colloquial term but that might be since it's a new coin, due in two months
- the femkrona is five crowns, colloquially femma
- the tiokrona is ten crowns, colloquially tia
A crown has a hundred ören (sg. öre), but the final coin with öre was removed from circulation only just recently.
Notes:
- the tjugokronorssedel is twenty crowns, colloquially tjuga (which is also a kind of pitchfork)
- the femtiokronorssedel is fifty crowns
- the hundrakronorssedel is a hundred crowns
- the tvåhundrakronorssedel is two hundred crowns, alsoe due for release in October
- the femhundrakronorssedel is five hundred crowns
- the tusenkronorssedel is a thousand crowns, but rarely used for everyday transactions, and I don't think it's available through ATMs
All notes can be called [value]-lapp colloquially as well - tjugolapp, hundralapp, etc. And of course, there are LOTS of colloquial terms for money in general, as well as regional, sociolectal, and out-of-fashion uses. Making a complete list would be an exercise in futility. But hey, at least it's easier than Cockney rhyming slang. :)
