Kickstarter is now available in Ireland, Denmark, Norway and Sweden, meaning natives can fund their schemes in their own currency.

Although the countries won’t have a dedicated site, the biggest news is that those wishing to launch a campaign on the crowdfunding site don’t have to worry about the exchange rate, because Kickstarter will pay all their raised funds in the local currency.

Kickstarter said on its blog: “Local currency for everyone! Danish kroner, Swedish kronor, Norwegian kroner, and the euro in Ireland. You can use your local banking and business details, and if your project is successfully funded, pledges will be collected in your local currency and transferred to you.”

The projects from each of the countries can be uncovered by searching Kickstarter by country. This does mean anyone from around the world can fund campaigns, even if they’re not located in the same country.

In celebration, we’ve rounded up the best Kickstarter campaigns from each of the new territories.
