Krone-Denmark & Norway

Kroon-Estonia

Krona-Sweden

 

Good grief are all of these the same? Pronunciations?

 

Pound-England

Ruble-Russia

Euro-Finland & France (?)

No, each of these countries has its own separate currency. The names have a common origin, which I believe also gives us the (obsolete) English denomination of "crown".

Euro-Finland & France (?)

Correct.

I happen to work for a bank and one of my colleagues (now retired) was the head of our euro work - he gave me the acronyms and they've stuck :D
