Are there common expressions that are equivalent in english and swedish with the respective currencies? E.g. stuff like "dollar to dollar", "bet someone dollars to doughnuts" ?

Anyway, plenty of text would probably match word-wise ("X bought Y for $AMOUNT $UNIT") in financial news, so the mapping of "dollar" over "kronor" seems a reasonable error.

For probably the same reason, google also translates hungarian "1000 forint" to english "1000 HUF" going from the full word to a quasi-acronym for "HUngarian Forint".
