Danish term or phrase: T.DKK
Aktiver med en anskaffelsespris under 20 T.DKK pr. enhed indregnes som omkostninger i resultat-opgørelsen.

I presume it is an abbreviation for thousands but I've never come across it before and would like to check.

Thanks for all help.

DKK 20,000 or DKK thousands
Explanation:
As others have stated, the abbrev. stands for "thousand" Danish kroner.
It could be stated as TDKK, or DKK thousands, on a financial report where the figures are abbreviated; but in the text I would prefer T to be replaced with ,000.

TDKK


Explanation:
I would say TDKK 20 etc. is the usual way of expressing this in English, not krone or crowns.

I would leave it as tDKK, but my answer is in response to your question "what does it mean".
